I noticed that it said resource fork, while all the other DAs I've seen are data forks. In any case BINHEX converts it without error but I can not load it with Desk Accessory Mover (V1.4). Could you please tell me or point me to instructions as to how to load your DA. Alternatively, could you unload it with Desk Accessory Mover, convert it with BINHEX, and send a copy of that to me. Your assistance would be most appreciated. Roy A. Standing (roy@nlm-vax) National Library of Medicine Lister Hill Center When you have a desk accessory stored as a resource in a resource file as you do here, use the resource mover or resource editor to paste it into the system file. It's unfortunate that the DAM stores DRVR resources in data forks. I don't see why it can't just store them as resources (which is what they are) so it would be more compatible with the resource editor/mover. Dan. (winkler@harvard)
