I transfered a file using rsync and lost the resource fork. I've read that it is possible to strip a resource fork from one file and then merge that resource fork onto another file. I cannot find info on how to do this though. All I know is it is supposedly possible to do it using the developer tools. Any ideas?

Have a look at ResMerger and SplitForks in /Developer/Tools

Doing a search in the forum I found a sickeningly easy way to solve my problem. I copied the good resource fork to a file by doing "cp goodfile/rsrc resourcefile". Then copied the resource fork to the bad file, "cp resourcefile badfile/rsrc".

You should try rscyncx, it has support for resource forks.
