   What, if any, is the command to use at the command line to "archive" a 
   file in the Panther sense, that is, preserving resource forks? zip 
   doesn't seem to do it. "archive" doesn't exist.

Tar can do it, but you need to include the file and its resource fork
on the command line.  The resource forks for all files in a directory
are in a sub-directory named something like .resource: do a

	ls -a

to see it.
