Well, I have the resource data in raw form.  Basically, I am deciphering
someone else's proprietary format of a file that includes the raw data
fork, followed by the raw resource fork and don't want to wade down into
the resource fork.  I'd just like to write it out.  I may have to resort to
binhexing it and let Stuffit Expander handle the rejoining, but I thought
surely Perl could do it.  I'm not all that proficient in perl5 or in C
programming on the Mac.
