Edit resource forks in OS X with Rezilla

Resource 'fork' or resource 'file' ?

They're different things. A file can store resources in the data fork, and still not have a resource fork.

Resource forks are absolutely deprecated, and should not be used at all by programmers writing today. Most unix utilities are not aware of them, and they do not play well in the modern, multi-platform world.

I think the files you refer to above are storing resources in the data fork, they don't have a resource fork. Most .rsrc files, including the "Localised.rsrc" files, are of this nature.

The only resource forks I can find on my computer are inside Resourcerer's package, and strangely, inside the Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro package!
