David, Ray,

The problem with their code is how beneficial it is depending on the license we can look at them.

About it being in a library considering how it has moved from System 6 to Mac OS X 10.12 I bet it is, and in C.

Natalia Portillo

Even if the compression code is in a file resource fork segment, it does not mean the resource fork segment is pre-built library. From what I recall from an internal Apple memo from the 1980s Apple wanted the sources for everything in its programs so that Apple would have complete control over the programs in case there were problems Apple needed to fix.
