Fixing many broken resource forks quickly

I have a bunch of broken resource forks
from Mac files (e.g. hqx, sit, bin) downloaded on a PC
and PC/Mac interchangeable files (mp3, jpg, gif, doc).

How do I fix them?

I can edit each one with res edit, but what a drag.
Is there a tool for fixing a bunch of files at once? A free tool?

If not, is there a software developer that could fix this?
1. Search for all files with type "TEXT" creator "LMAN"
and suggest fixing them.
2. Search for files with PC dot3 endings and no fork and fixing them.
pdf, jpg, mp3, gif, tif, doc, hqx, sit, and bin
