Why is everybody bitching about ProDOS 8 not supporting forked files? WHY does
ProDOS 8 NEED to support them? It would take a lot more code to support it and
there simply isn't room for it. Without a resource manager for ProDOS 8, and
there is no need for that either, ProDOS should merely return an error when
asked to work with a forked file.

I have a question about System Disk 5.0. When and how do we get a complete
update on the toolbox ref manuals, and GSOS ref manuals that explains all the
new tool calls and Resource manager calls?
