Eh?  There are plenty of standard resource types--they may not be defined in
the Resource Manager chapter, but they're defined.

No, there is not a whole lot of compatibility with Mac resources.  We have
1-word resource types and 2-word resource IDs (the mac has 4-character resource
types and 1-word IDs).  Probably the format of the String resources is pretty
compatible, but I haven't really looked.  Most stuff is different.

And the format of the forks is very different, too.
