CODE and XFCN resources

[Ron]

Thanks a lot, Brian

I looked at the Rev docs but didn't think of the MC (which I don't use)
docs. You were right, they are in the 'Read Me' for 2.4, included below. I
couldn't get 1300 to work but 2400 did. I hope there is not problem with
that. I can now load both CODE res. id 1200, and id 2400, stored in the res
fork of the same stack.

Thanks
Ron

>From the MC Read Me:
Multiple externals are now supported on Win32 and MacOS systems.  On
Win32, just set the externals property of a stack to a multiline list
of the DLLs to load.  On MacOS systems, multiple CODE resources can be
included in a stack file.  The set that will be loaded for a given
platform depends on the ids of the resources.  The value of the id mod
3 is used to select the externals for a given platform as shown in the
following table:
0 - PPC
1 - 68K
2 - Carbon
