I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in this, but the answer is
that unless you write an xcmd to retrieve a resource from SuperCard,
there is no way to get a sound, icon, etc. from a SuperCard project to
anyplace else.  To me, this does not seem like a good way to manage
the resources (storing them in the data fork).  The argument for this
was that there is a limit on the number of files you can have open
at once, and by eliminating the need for a resource fork for every project,
you double the number of projects you can have open at once.
