Hm.  When I opened it in ResEdit in Classic it said there was no 
resource fork and offered to create one. When I opened it in 
something else (Resourcerer?) it said there was no data fork. I have 
been able to see the text contents of the file, but as far as I can 
determine, there is no data fork at all.  Where do you get Peeper?
