	The MacBinary, AppleSingle and AppleDouble specs can be found 
on my website (see signature) as I am the maintainer of most of these 
formats...

	As to how to support them - the big issues is that the code 
in ftmac.c assumes that you actually have the Mac OS present as it 
makes native API calls, so that even if you had the data, it wouldn't 
help since we need to the OS to do things for us (like parse the 
resource fork format!).
