I think you should first compare/check what you both mean by  
"resource"! :-)

For old Mac users, like Jan and me, this is a "relict" from old Mac OS  
< 9 days,
when icons, sounds etc. were stored INSIDE of the (application) file(s).

I think Tiemo wants to replace some parts of a (binary) file, right?
If yes then you can simply replace (with "ditto" :-) for example these  
complete
files even when they are currently being used.
