MC IDE 2.6 - next steps

[Chipp Walters]

Perhaps a better question is:

Are there any other tools which can uncompress .sit files? And are they 
easy to use?

Or, can one just .gz the whole thing? (I imagine gzip doesn't retain 
resources either..)

btw, what's so important about the resource fork for Rev stacks? Can't 
you just open and save and you've created a resource fork?
