OK Mac experts, I have a riddle for you to solve:

I have a resource file, created with ResEdit, that has ~40 snd's in it and it
is about 1.9 Meg in size.I built this so that I can play the sounds with
Suitcase and not clog my System file. About a week ago I noticed that 17 of
the sounds became corrupted, i.e. they won't play. Suitcase gives an error 
message that there is "insufficient RAM" to play the sound. In ResEdit I get
an error -108(not enough room in heap zone) when I try to open the resource
with "open general" or a double click. If I try to copy, clear or otherwise
manipulate any of the 'broken' snd's I get another error code that says there
is insufficient memory to copy the resource( -193, which when I look it up means
"resource file not found" ??? But I just clicked on it!). How can I fix these
resources if that is at all possible? ResEdit does not want to coperate.
I stripped all INITs, CDEV's, startup pictures, etc from my system folder and
re-booted with just the minimum required to run, a System file and Finder.Same
results(also with MultiFinder). Here is my system configuration:
MacII with 5 Meg RAM
System 6.0.2
Finder 6.1
ResEdit1.2b3 (yes a beta version...)

I've tried to increase ResEdit's partition to 3 Meg and still get the same
results.Anybody got any ideas? Am quite bummed... :-( :-(
