I did have trouble unpacking it.  GSHK unpacked the data fork
and got almost all the way through the resource fork, but then
quit.  What I did was to use a utility program to "undelete"
the A2.Archive2 stack.  The stack works fine, but the arrow
buttons are blank.  A look at the stack's resources show that
the icon resources for the forward and reverse arrows are
trashed.

Thanks.  Still much work left to be done on it, though.  The
hellish part is trying to deconstruct a Quicktime movie frame
by frame, resize it, convert the frames on the GS, and string
it all together again.  The results are fine (the jet in the
movie is gray), but the process is a killer.  Does anyone know
of a GS Quicktime reader?  Alternatively, does anyone know of
a PC program that will convert Quicktime to .FLI, which the GS
will read?
