I posted an article on this STR resource 801 in MacWrite documents business
several days ago to comp.virus, but it hasn't appeared yet.  Here's a short
form version...

You can *expect* to find two STR resources in MacWrite files created by 
(at least) versions 4.5 and 4.6 (probably a few other versions, too).  The
IDs of these resources will be 700 and 801.  They belong there.

To quote from an old copy of Tech. Note #12, "Disk Based MacWrite Format":

"FONT MAPPING - In the document's resources is a resource of type STR with
	the ID #801.  It contains a mapping of font resource IDs and infor-
	mation on real fonts...."

STR 700, by the way, is a table containing the fifteen most commonly used 
letters in the language of the MacWrite that created the document.  It's used
by MacWrite for nibble-wise text compression and decompression.

I hope this helps to dispell a bit of paranoia... :-)
