<p>
asPack is an application to convert a file
you select into AppleSingle format.
</p>
<p>
AppleSingle format saves all the parts of a Macintosh file (including
the data fork, the resource fork, file type and creator,
the creation/modification dates, and other meta data) into a
single simple sequence of bytes that can be transferred to
non Macintosh file systems without losing any information.
But that is not what asPack is intended for.
asPack is intended for use with
<a href="../fdisasm/index.html">FDisasm</a>.
It is an alternative to
<a href="../getrsfrk/index.html">GetRsFrk</a>,
so you can look at the entire file, not just the resource fork.
</p>
<p>
asPack saves its result in a file named &ldquo;bin&rdquo; in the
same folder as the asPack application (creating &ldquo;bin&rdquo; if it
doesn't already exist, and overwriting if it does).
After running asPack, you should next use
<a href="../findres/index.html">FindRes</a>.
</p>
<p>
The related program
<a href="../asunpack/index.html">asUnpack</a>
is the inverse of asPack, unpacking an AppleSingle file named
&ldquo;bin&rdquo;.
</p>

Here is the md5 checksum for the download, signed with
