Palm OS Animated Radar 		OCS resources are stored within Macintosh resource files. On a Macintosh any file can have resources, which are stored in a file's resource 'fork'. A file's data fork separate from it's resource fork. A Mac based tool from Apple called Resedit is used to view and edit these forks. On other filesystems, the resource fork is not directly supported. Usually the resource fork is just written as a separate file and treated as a standard data file.

This application was written to open and view the contents of these resources on Windows machines, thus alleviating the need for MacOS only tools for editing, viewing and verifying Mac resources, and hence OCS resources.
