I just encountered something real strange with some files from the
System 7.0 CD ROM - compressed resources.  The latest ResEdit seems to
recognize them, but when running under System 6.0.x, they don't load
correctly when using GetResource.  Does anyone know anything about them???

I searched through the IM Vol VI and there isn't a word about these!
There seems to be a resource attribute bit to indicate that it's
compressed, but nothing describing how to deal with it.  Yet another 7.0
mystery.....
