Is there any software that I can just drop files/folders onto it to remove the resource forks?

Sharing files with Windows users is a pain.

Thanks...

Does anyone know of a website that has a software database and tracks version updates and changes?

Oops. Don't really check VT.com out often. I put my links at MacUpdate these days since it's much faster. :/

I personally like GrimRipper CM. It makes a contextual menu item, so you just right-click (or ctrl-click) on the icon and tell it to delete the resource fork.

If you don't want a GUI then UnRezWack is a great shell program to do this. It is part of OSX if you installed the developer tools. (Which realistically most powerusers should do whether they know about programming or not)

Another really easy way:

cp -R dir1 dir2

UNIX cp command will not copy the resource fork.
