Although this is probably a mundane question, it's not working like
I'd expect it, so I'll ask:

I'm trying to save a PICT resource to disk after a certain program
draws the picture so that another program can reproduce that picture
later.  In theory, I should just have to do a save of the length of
the PICT resource at the address of the resource, then to load it
create a resource large enough to contain the original and load it in.
Doesn't seem to work.  Just the loading part doesn't seem to work with
MacDraw PICTS either.  Can someone send me quick 'n dirty code to do
this in Think C?

Thanks in advance.  Please respond to RICK @ JHUVM (bitnet).
