IF Visual Studio does it, we're talking about a different animal:  while 
resource *files* are common on other systems, only Mac OS has a dual 
file system which supports a resource *fork*:

To make a Mac Classic application on any other OS will require some 
additional step done on a Mac to make it run.

Fortunately it won't matter much longer:  the MacTels are almost here, 
so the days of Classic are numbered....
