Could someone tell me what the format of the resource fork is ? I'm not looking for formats of individual resources, just how the resources are arranged in the file. I'm envisioning something like this : Start of fork Resource Resource Resource Resource End of fork where the general format of resource is something like : Byte Contents 0-3 Resource type (ie 'CODE') 4-5 Resource ID 6-9 Length of resource I have no idea if this is even close, and I assume there are fields which I am missing (like a resource name ?). Any information appreciated, thanks in advance. Eric Eric W.

Oh, are you the poster which went to Spain and left its Inside Macintosh in the USA ? In that case, I might post or email the description.

Yes, I will freely admit that what I am doing is not all that bright. Attempting a major Macintosh programming project without any Macintosh documentation (and without a Mac for that matter!) is an exercise in frustration and futility. I knew nothing about my situation when I came to Spain, so I didn't bring anything that wasn't absolutely necessary (ie Inside Mac). My approach has been to grab whatever information I can through ftp and an occasional stupid question to the net. I apologize for asking questions when I often know darn well where to find the answer. I try not to do it very often, and since I understand that I am riding the ragged edge of netiquette, I invite anyone to ignore such requests if they want to do so. Besides, I am hoping that many of the net readers will benefit from this project when it is done. When I get back to the US in August, I'll test my project on a real Mac, verifying its code using real documentation. Until then, I keep digging, and I'll try and ask a few less dumb questions.
