We've been requesting this feature since before 1.0 was released. Good
luck. I don't think they know how to do it... ;P
There are a few somewhat hard-to-find plugins that will stream resource
forks for you, and you can also use some toolbox calls to do it to
avoid plugins. Email me if you'd like me to forward them to you. (the
toolbox calls have variants for carbonlib and interfacelib, so they
should work for 8.6 as well as 9/x, and the plugin is fat+carbon I
believe)

Subject: Writing Raw ResourceForks

I would like to write raw resource forks - not the individual
resources,
but just the ability to write raw binary data into the resource fork
area.
I am doing this for a custom installer program, where I take a file
with
data and resource forks, extract and compress each as raw data, store
them
as resources in the installer program. Then the installer runs on the
users
machine and extracts both pieces of data from it's own resource fork,
decompresses them, and writes them as a raw data to the data fork and
resource fork, thus accurately and exactly rebuilding the file.
I use FileLib to do this, but I need to support some 8.6 users, and the
FileLib does not work on these OS's, since the can't use forks.
Is there any standard way of writing a raw piece of data as the entire
resource fork, just like you would do the data fork?
