Yep, I think resources was for programmers ( original intent ).  So that the
program won't have to be re-compiled everytime the programmer makes a cosmetic
change ( like try to line up the buttons ).  Saves a lot of time!

Ian,

Why do you worry about the user tamper it?  For most of part, most people don't,I do, but only for myself...  I keep an original version around just incase, andalso if I need to upload it.  Has people been passing around modified ( resourcefork ) programs?
