he he....it's a holdover from the Macintosh's HFS... =0). Mac files hava a data fork
and a resource fork. Take a PC disk, put it in a Mac, write a file to the disk, and
then view it in a PC again. You'll see a folder called "resource.frk" on that disk
when you view it on the Windows PC. Depending on your version of Windows, and your
configuration, you may need to tell it to not "hide known file types". I've seen some
versions/configurations of Windows hide this folder if this is turned on.
Why they stored data in the RESOURCE.FRK folder, I'm not sure. Usually, on the Mac,
all the important stuff is stored in the data fork.

A newbie question...
What is the RESOURCE.FRK folder all about? Why are there files there that
seem to have data (non zero length), while in the higher folders there seem
to be zero length placeholder files?
