Resource Spy requires the Mac's Resource Fork to be in the data fork of your
IIgs file.  Because it's pre-system 6, it can't use the resources in a
resource fork.  You can't use the HFS FST to directly read Mac files with
Resource Spy.

You need to get the Mac resources into the ProDOS data fork.  One of the
older Mac converters like HFSLink (mine) and a2fx will do the trick.
Just set HFSLink to convert the resource fork, and your output file will
have a ".R" appended.  Resource Spy will read this file.
