How do you read resources in data fork resource files?

I suppose you could copy it to a resource fork and then open it using FolderItem.OpenResourceFork but that seems like brute force. However, I haven't had any luck finding a Carbon system call that I can declare.

That's how I do it in ResFool. Also, if the resource fork is part of a bundled app and is appropriately named, the resources will be added to the apps resource chain as if by magic.
