I need to know if I can access a resource in a file to which I can manipulate data to make a TEXT file. What the resouce fork that I need to access is in the form of: Resource: :Identification: : :Text And the TEXT file is just in the file format of: Identification: :Text The Identification is NOT going into the TEXT file. Is that at all possible? -T- timjudd@teleport.com HTTP://www.teleport.com/~timjudd/ IRC nick: StayPuft *NO* chain letters of any kind! World Wide Web Page designer, ask for it
