There is no resource fork in MC stack files by default. Only when you use
externals in Classic do you need a resource fork. Open them in ResEdit and
you'll see: it gives you the warning that the file has no res fork, asking
you if you want to create one.
Side note: you can get "resfile" and "binfile" and store each as separate
properties in an installer stack, writing them out to the same path to
restore both forks of the file.
