Well, a few people pointed me to Resource Spy (which apparently has not yet
appeared on Apple2-L).  I found a copy of this, but am still in need of some
assistance.

What I want to do is take a standard Mac file of sounds, fonts, or icons,
obtained either via AFE, downloading, whatever, and run a program or two on
it to get it into a format which I can use.

The current problems I seem to be facing are:

o       while NuPAK can unpack SIT files, it currently only does so if the
MacBinary (or America Online) prefix is present.  Neither of these are there on
a file retrieve from the Sumex Mac file server as far as I can tell.

o       while resource spy allows one to open a file and examine the resources,
        and in a few cases save the results to a file, when I do get a Mac
        file of a font for instance in a binary form, there are no resources
        there - so R.S. has nothing to work on.

If anyone is doing this (sharing fonts, icons, sounds - maybe even graphics),
would you mind going into excruciating detail as to how this might work?  I
have no problem working with someone in email and then collecting the results
and posting later after I get the whole thing working!
