Subject: How to set EOF of "resource" file to 0?

I have an app with two kinds of files: "data" files, manipulated with FS file
calls, and "resource" files, which contain only a resource fork and are thus
manipulated using Resource Manager calls.

When a user wants to overwrite a "data" file (that is, in SFPutFile they've
indicated that they wish to make a new file with same name as an old one), I
just open it and then SetEOF to 0.  But how do I do it for the "resource"
files?  Do I use OpenRF and then call SetEOF to set the EOF to 0, or do I
actually have to use the Resource Manager to delete every resource?
