I have managed to copy the resource fork off from MAC to PC-DOS
format, and am about to knock up some code to pull the resources
into a suitable PostScript file. This would be (sort of) a DOS
version of unAdobe.

If anyone would like a copy (assuming that it all works!), send
me mail and I will mail you, or, if there is enough interest,
post to the net.

If anyone has source for this (or hints for writing one from
scratch) I would be grateful for it, to use as a starting point
for a PC version. A MAC executable would _still_ be useful,
if anyone has one floating around.
