} Matthias, is there any reason not to change this to do data+resource forks?

What, you want to break all my scripts that rely on documented

On the other hand, it would be nice if the resource fork size were a
little easier to get.  Maybe one of the - operators that don't have any
meaning under MacOS can be pressed into service (-r?).
