Could someone tell me what the format of the resource fork is ?  I'm not
looking for formats of individual resources, just how the resources
are arranged in the file.

I'm envisioning something like this :

Start of fork
Resource
Resource
Resource
Resource
End of fork

where the general format of resource is something like :

Byte            Contents
0-3             Resource type (ie 'CODE')
4-5             Resource ID
6-9             Length of resource

I have no idea if this is even close, and I assume there are
fields which I am missing (like a resource name ?).

Any information appreciated, thanks in advance.

Eric
