Hi Tiemo,

Rather than copying rezsources one at a time, you may
want to read the entire resource fork in one go and
write that out.

##
on CopyFile pFilePath, pDestPath
  put URL ("binfile:" & pFilePath) into tDataFork
  put URL ("resfile:" & pFilePath) into tRsrcFork
  put tDataFork into URL ("binfile:" & pDestPath)
  put tRsrcFork into URL ("resfile:" & pDestPath)
end CopyFile
##

Of course, you can store the data and resource forks
inside custom properties for your updater to spit out
again.

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.
