As I recall, all this is held in the data fork, like so: Handle Resource Handle Resource And the handle usually refers to a PICT or a SND And the resource is a PICT or a SND itself. Almost a year ago I asked about this, and I believe it was rick who suggested this method when I asked how to "protect my resources" from res-editors. I may have some code, It'll take me a long time to find the message itself, though. -- Terence Jordan (tatewake@...)
