[net.micro.mac] ResEdit fun

wrs@wb1.cs.cmu.edu.UUCP (04/06/86)

While playing around with ResEdit, I found a strange dialog box in ResEdit
itself (#146).  Some disassembly lead me to the "About ResEdit..." menu
item.  It turns out that holding command and option down when you select
"About ResEdit" will give you a more informal about box (e.g., thanking Mrs.
Fields for the cookies).  Holding shift, command, and option will put up
#146, a very small box with the message "Flipping Pig Mode ON".  This last
box toggles between ON and OFF, and does things with the disk when you
change its state.

Anyone have any idea what Pig Mode is?  I turned it back off immediately,
but maybe tomorrow I'll be brave enough to play around with Pig Mode
flipped ON...

All PIG MODE seems to do is continually access all the mounted volumes, making
ResEdit really SLOW to work with. Perhaps Larry Rosenstein has an answer?
