This odd format on the Windows side allows projects to be shared between
the Mac and Windows environments seamlessly. I use Windows at work, but a
Mac at home, and I can copy the project folder on Windows to my Mac and it
works fine.

Subject: RE: RESOURCE.FRK
So that explains why my project is getting all forked up...<G>
Seriously... I want to lift code and resources from one (working) project
into another (new) project. I see a foo.rsrc file in the RSC folder, but
there is also one in the RSC/RESOURCE.FRK folder. Which ones do I copy to
my
new project? And why is the one at the RSC level in the working project 0
length, while the one in the RSC/RESOURCE.FRK folder is NOT 0 length?
Currently I've tried copying the non-zero length one to the RSC level
thinking the compiler (CW) will then create the one in the RESOURCE.FRK
level. But I get the following two link errors:
"Error while creating/copying resource fork"
and
"Error while saving resources"
