It is a long a time since I have been 'hacking' programs with ResEdit, but
under Mac there is no code in data fork. Most programs have data fork empty.
(The resource fork is a great thing. All program data is contained in
program, sorted by type, and easy editable)
I suppose there is small 68k code which decides if run 68k or PPC version
CODE.
