Right. My question was framed improperly I guess.

If you were just trying to recover data in old Mac files, then one would
only need to READ the resources, but you were talking about
*writing*resources, and I was curious why one would want to sustain a
discontinued
(and broken) technology in a new application.

No big deal. Inquiring minds... etc.
