	You can view the size of resource forks with plain ls(1) by appending 
/rsrc to the files that contain them:

$[juan at PowerBook: Trabajo](275/0,0)-> ls LogoBorrador.ai
-rw-r--r--  1 juan  staff    152K 13 Mar  2001 LogoBorrador.ai

$[juan at PowerBook: Trabajo](276/0,0)-> ls LogoBorrador.ai/rsrc
-rw-r--r--  1 juan  staff    9K 13 Mar  2001 LogoBorrador.ai/rsrc

	You see? There at first I got a long listing of "LogoBorrador.ai" and 
then of the same file but with the /rsrc suffix, 
"LogoBorrador.ai/rsrc"; the size of that last listing is that of the 
resource fork. There are other things you can find out about it through 
the command line, with tools like "lsmac" and "GetFileInfo", the former 
attainable from the "osxutils" package from the 
http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ project and the latter attainable 
from the Xcode package.

	Hope that helps, regards....
