Hello Eric - First of all, thank you for the _very_ detailed suggestions.
>Is starting over even an option? ;) Backup anywhere? I have a backup from a couple of days ago. I am trying to determine if it's quicker to attempt to fix the RSRC file or just start from the last backup. > >Are you trying to open it in Constructor? Which version?

Does it look like the data is still there? >If the resource map in the .frk file gets hosed, you can lose the >references to the data but the data is still there. Fixing a messed up >resource map in a resource file is nearly impossible. It appears as though the data is still in there - and the file size is about correct. To fix the referecnes to the data I would follow your instructions below, right? I do have a Mac - OS 8.6 that I can try to get going. Thanks for the helpful advice...
