I have several "sound" files that have the sound stored in the data fork
while the resource fork held some miscellaneous stuff that was unneeded for
playing the sound.

So I used ResEdit to delete the resources.  Strange thing is that the file did
not shrink in over-all size.  It still registers as having about 3K of space
for the resource fork.

I've tried Apple's "Disk First Aid" and nothing changes.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.
