Yeah, Be themselves tended to ship their sample code with "rsrc" so I propose we stick with that. > As some familiar with resources may know, it's important that the > application signature in the resource match the string in the > constructor for BApplication.

If we choose OBOS, we may need to change them all if/when we get a name change. What I would urge people to do is use "application/x-vnd.OBOS.ApplicationName Thats, use OBOS (we can replace that easy enough!) period Name (with leading caps). Leave the decision on this one open until we are 100% on the name of the OS. Andrew.
