I created ticket 3306, but it may be due to a specific release of Zeta. As
noted in the
ticket I recreated a resource file in Zeta 1.21 and it is correctly handled by
Haiku.
The resource file that is not correctly recognized starts with "Joy!resf"
instead of
"RS".
I do not remember on which version of QuickRes/Zeta I generated this file.
