- I was pretty shocked to see that 3.0 doesn't allow you access to the
- resource fork of Mac files. NeXT seems to think that only the data fork
- contains any data we might be interested in!

- The only solution I know of is to use FloppyWorks the good old fashioned
- way, and specify that you want the resource fork. Guess DIT gets to still
- sell a few copies.
