I have several important job-related Bryce files, that have damaged resource forks. The files range around 225 megs. Their icons are clearly identifiable as Bryce4 (not generic), yet upon attempting to open, the warning message arises and the opening attempt ceases. I have tried to open a new Brcye file and the damaged file in Microsoft Word, in order to copy the "assumed" intro, id fork from one to another, but the damaged file is so large, it can not be saved. Is this something that one can do in Res-Edit? What specifically identifies the resource fork within the file text and are resource forks identical per program files? TIA manowar

I have only played with Res-edit a few times but that or BBEdit should hopefully get you where you need to be. Hopefully

Ouch! I have played with Word trying to fix things-without any luck. ResEdit WILL add a resource fork to a PC file-so there may be a way to add a NEW resource fork. Hopefully your data fork is OK. I am FAR from being an expert on this so I will say no more. I DID see a book on ResEDIT once-wish I had BOUGHT IT!!!!!! Try contacting APPLE TECH support-they may be able to tell you what the title is, otherwise do a search on Amazon.com Good Luck Eric

You can try Norton to fix it but if it works, consider it a miracle.
