Elliot Nunn 5b0f0cc134 Bring in CubeE sources
Resource forks are included only for .rsrc files. These are DeRezzed into their data fork. 'ckid' resources, from the Projector VCS, are not included.

The Tools directory, containing mostly junk, is also excluded.

Change History (most recent first):
<3> 2/5/91 Lai BM,#81596: Also for bug jfr101 on whiteboard. Move the
functionality of making a 'reco' in coercion to AECreateDesc and
just call AECreateDesc.
<2> 1/17/91 Lai In StdCoercion, check for overflow going from 'sing' to 'doub'
because source may be equal to 'INF'.
<1> 12/13/90 Lai first checked in after subdividing into smaller modules
To Do:
