   Ahhh... is this a good idea?  On old macs with old systems, the Resource
Manager doesn't like dealing with big resources (>32K).  I don't know
when (if ever??) this was changed- all I have handy is the promo edition of
Inside Mac (vol. I, p. 30).  Also, resources can't be manipulated with
stdio calls.
