I could not find it listed in APDAlog. It sounds very interesting since TML's resource editor is still buggy. ==================================================================== J.

It was part of the early release tools for APW 2.0, and I did get it from APDA (can't remember the order number or anything, tho'). I haven't noticed any bugs in Rez, but there are some errors in the resource types file (which, to my great annoyance, is all in one file). >J.

Sapirstein Hmm. And did you send anyone at Apple a letter or bug report, *telling* them there were problems and that it was annoying for types.rez to be one large file?

Matt Deatherage pointed out to me that it was quite rude to broadcast my dissatisfaction with a beta product when I hadn't sent in the bug report/ complaint to the folks that wrote/produced said beta product. Although I had my reasons for not sending the report in, it was still inappropriate, and I apologize. -- Jason Blochowiak - blochowi@garfield.cs.wisc.edu or jason@madnix.uucp "Education, like neurosis, begins at home." - Milton R.
