I presume you mean P98 reading/writing project data files in P4.0 format. I
thought this was possible within limits (e.g. losing new features). What
problems are you having?

I'm curious about this. What were the issues that this fixed?

Are you talking about opening Mac P4 files in P98, or about opening (on the
Mac) P4-format files produced by P98? Either way, AFAIK, the resource fork
shouldn't enter into things at all. If the former, you already know to give
it the right file extension; if the latter, it's worth checking that the Mac
is assigning the right creator information to the file (presumably, the same
as on files produced by P4 on the Mac itself).
HTH!
