I would really like to know why ResEdit does not have the capability to
read data forks?  Did Apple do this on purpose?  Granted, it is not every
day that one needs to look at the data fork of a file, but since ResEdit
doesn't do it, I need to use FEdit, which crashes my computer when reading
from my hard drive.

By the way, is there any simple way to install color icons into the
resource fork of a file without one?  I could only guess that one needs 
to add a cicn resource to the file with the same ID# as the icon resources
and edit the resource from there.  Is this the way to do it?

One more question, what is the most recent version of ResEdit?
