Given that MacOS Classic didn't (as far as I know) support sparse files, it may well be that there's no way under the standard Mac interface to create a sparse resource fork.Actually, it may well be a moot point. Not that many files are sparse, so the number of bytes is a reasonable indication of the number of blocks. It's just that I'd rather have the individual block count for each fork.
Frankly, I'm sad to see resource forks fading away. But then, I miss Apollo's object-oriented file system too.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
