Standalones

[Martin Baxter]

Maybe, but why wouldn't something that easy have been implemented already?
I don't have any inside knowledge but suspect there may be more to it. If,
in buiilding the Mac resource fork, MacOS routines are utilised, these
would presumably have to be emulated in the engine in order to assemble the
resource fork on A.N. Other platform.
