Storing images

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

What is the difference between storing it in a resource fork and 
storing it in a substack, or as an image in a group that can be placed 
on any card. Both the latter do not add any more data to the 
stack...there is only one copy of the imagedata in the stack even 
though it appears in multiple instances.
