Have you opened (control-click) the package and looked through all the files/folders inside? .rsrc is a special os type that's actually a folder. -- An example is the .rtfd 'file' that is created by saving an RTF document with graphics in TextEdit. In that case, it was really just a folder with a .png and a .rtf file inside. This is what Apple came up with when they had to move their 'Resource Fork' metaphor to a different file system. I quite like the OSX packaging system of today (making a Rev standalone inside a package with splash - I have it all, a stand alone for the client but an easily modified system with all the source code and tools), but in the pre-rev Hypercard world, resource forks were a godsend. That's where the XCMDS, sounds, pictures, code, fonts, everything except data was stored, which of course was in the DATA fork. I used many, many, TEXT resources like we use custom properties in Rev today. You could even put executable Hypertalk into these resources. This was a system thing; and other apps could get access to the same resources. This is not the same now in Rev as pictures and sounds are stored in a proprietary format, I'm sure to preserve cross-platform compatibility. Say, nobody's written a 'Resource Mover' for Rev yet..... maybe I will. sqb 2009/1/22 Dave <[email protected]> > > On 22 Jan 2009, at 16:18, J.
