[net.micro.mac] How do I get at a file's "information block"?

	I'm in the process of writing a file compression program
for the Mac.  Currently, I hacked together some code to
compress/decomress a given fork. Now, I have to find out how to
get at the file's "information block", so I can squirrel it away
for use during file decompression.

	What I would like to know is this:  Given the fact that
I can compress the data and resource forks of a file, what other
file descriptor information do I have to get at to create a
compressed "backup" of the file?  Also, what calls will I have to
use to get at the information? 

	Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks!
