I'm having some major problems with PackageMaker and I have some clues
that might help figure out what's going on. I have an app I created
from an Applescript, I saved it as an application. Using "Get Info" in
Finder tells me that it's 60 KB. Using Terminal "ls -l" tells me that
the exact same app is 13780 bytes large... that's the first strange
part

ls doesn't show you the size of the resource fork.

True in this case, but note that you can append /rsrc to any filename to
view the resource fork of the file. Enter this single-line command to
see it in action:

find ~/Library/Preferences -exec ls -l '{}/rsrc' \; 2> /dev/null | awk
'{print $5, $9}' | grep -v ^0
