Overview:

Traditionally, Macintosh files have always been constituted of two forks: the data fork and the resource fork. With bundled applications, Apple has introduced a new model: resources can now be stored in the data fork of a file rather than in its resource fork. ToggleFork is a simple drag and drop tool which lets you transfer the resources from a fork to the other. it is a carbon app running both under OS9 and OSX. Just drag a file over the icon of ToggleFork: - if it is a traditional file with both a data fork and a resource fork, its resource fork will be rewritten in the data fork of a separate file called by default "Out.datafork". The original file is unmodified. - if it is a file containing resources in its datafork, all its resources will be copied to the resource fork of a separate file called by default "Out.rsrcfork". The original file is unmodified. - if the file has no resource, nothing happens. ToggleFork is scriptable so you can drive it with AppleScript and automate tasks related to resources. You can also set the name of the output file with AppleScript rather than using the default names.
