help with rsrc files

[vapser]

i need to "unzip" a rsrc file and i have looked everywhere after a program that can unzip this file. so now i need some help with this.
i really need this file but cant get it unziped, so do any of you guys know a program that can do that?

Sounds like one of those Apple Macintosh or handheld type files to me, and do Mac files use extensions?

Not sure what system you have or what you are trying to do, but try renaming the file with an extension to the image files (jpg, gif, tif). Windows explorer should show the files once they have the right extension.

Or if that doesn't work try a hex editor.

??????????

Gotta be careful what I say about Macs around here :)

I could also be talking complete bollocks though. :D

urb has it basically right. :)

Extensions are somewhat optional on a Mac depending on the program and what version a MacOS you are talking about, much like *nix.

What it sounds like is the resource fork of a Mac file. Mac files can have more then one fork. Since other fikle systems do not understand multi forked files it will end up as two files or just get discarded, either way the file ends up destroyed.

The PalmOS also has rsrc files so it may be a Palm file.
