Ah OK. I was under the impression that there were demos which  
differed (in particular, demos which showcased the differences  
between MacResExtractor and Win32ResExtractor. But if that's not the  
case, then there is no point in linking to the Mac demos. Thanks for  
clarifying this.

Makes sense.
