Yep.

$ ls -l 'Quicken Data.qdfm/Contents/Data File/rsrc'
-rw-rw----   1 slamb  slamb  1525662 Nov 25 12:10 Quicken Data.qdfm/

I think it's unusual for resource forks to be this large - or even  
exist, on a modern system - but it will be true for any Quicken data  
file. (address@hidden@# Intuit.)
