What do I do about a plug that...

has no resource fork? When I tried to open two plugs (New Horizons and The Sickness) with Res-Edit, I got a message telling me it had no resource fork. What do I do about that? Thanks!

All the important data in a plug is stored in the resource fork. As a result, if ResEdit can't find a resource fork then the plug in question is most likely corrupted beyond repair.

It's always worth checking, though - have you uncompressed the plug?

What exactly do you mean, Mazca? I unstuffed the stuffed plugs (after downloading). Is that what you mean? When I tried to open them with Res-Edit, I got the "no resource fork" message and asked if I wanted it to give it one. I said yes, but the picker was blank.
Unfortunately, my PC decided to screw up. Whenever I started it up, I got a "NTLD is missing" (I think that was the file) message. Also several other files were corrupted/missing. I had someone here look at it, she came here to my home and could not find my files... She eventually had to do a complete restore. I lost all my EV and related files, as well as my emulator.

What format was it encoded as? Not all compression formats preserve the resource fork.

Don't let borification happen to YOU -mrxak

New Horizons is encoded as: .sit.bin, and The Sickness is encoded as .sea.hqx.
