 Is it possible to delete the resource fork of a file ? I have a
 HyperCard stack which had (has?) 6 Mb of PICT resources. I deleted the
 PICT resources using ResEdit, but the stack still appears to be 6.5 Mb
 in size. Why does the stack still have all this space reserved ?
 
 Any advice gratefully received.
