If it's a ProDOS 8 application, won't it have trouble with resource
forks? The only ProDOS 8 program I have that isn't upset by resource
forks is fork splitter.

This may sound sarcastic, but I am serious about the resource forks
question. That is an important limitation for Apple IIGS users with
System 5.0.x or later and would preclude it's usefulness to me and many
others.

To those who don't know, System 4.0 and previous versions didn't have
resource forks. Anyone I am sure Dr. Tom knows this, but others who may
not be as knowledgable may be reading this.
