Can someone suggest some code that will allow me to delete
the resource fork of a file?  I would like to obliterate
it entirely.  Pascal is preferable, but others that are
convertible by me would be OK.  I have some files with
empty resource forks that are taking up space on my disk,
and I'd like to smash those resource forks.  Unfortuately,
I don't have either FEdit+ or MPW, both of which, I am told,
will do the trick.

I've looked through such documentation as I have, and I see
no way to accomplish this little task.

Thanks for the assistance!
