Howdy -

Does anyone know how to access resource forks that are associated with a file in OS X?

Thanks

If you're working with Ruby on Mac OS X, you should be able to get them
via the "default way" with 'filename/rsrc' (you might want to look at
<http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_fs.html&gt;\). On other systems
and "flat" file systems these Forks are stored in various ways that
differ from solution to solution (Netatalk stores them in '.AppleDouble'
folders, Mac OS X puts them into '._filename' files, etc.)

Dominik.
