I was pretty shocked to see that 3.0 doesn't allow you access to the  
resource fork of Mac files. NeXT seems to think that only the data fork  
contains any data we might be interested in!

The only solution I know of is to use FloppyWorks the good old fashioned  
way, and specify that you want the resource fork. Guess DIT gets to still  
sell a few copies.
