With the impending release of system 5.0 for the GS, and the consequent availability of resource forks (which are a blessing on the Mac) I would like to bring up the subject of resource Editors for the GS - more precisely: Are there any available right now?

The upgrade notification for TML Pascal II notes that a resource editor has been added! It ships July 1st, I think. I don't know if the resource editor is a stand alone one, though. I am not sure how it will even work! :( Is there any degree of compatibility between Mac resources and GS resources? Dave Seah (dseah@wpi.wpi.edu)

The new APW update has a Rez (a resource compiler) and a little pre-release resource editor. the resourc editor can eat disks, and is not recommended at this point. Rez works just like MPW on the Mac. We are waiting for the MPW IIGS Cross developement version. -- Syd Polk | Wherever you go, there you are. jazzman@claris.com | Let the music be your light.

Well, considering that the release notes we have have no predefined resources, they can be as compatible as you like. However, I am sure that the II group will define some standard ones. -- Syd Polk | Wherever you go, there you are. jazzman@claris.com | Let the music be your light.

There are plenty of standard resource types--they may not be defined in the Resource Manager chapter, but they're defined. No, there is not a whole lot of compatibility with Mac resources. We have 1-word resource types and 2-word resource IDs (the mac has 4-character resource types and 1-word IDs). Probably the format of the String resources is pretty compatible, but I haven't really looked. Most stuff is different. And the format of the forks is very different, too. --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

Network Comment: to #7957 by pnet01!crash!apple.com!claris!jazzman I wonder if the MPW Cross Development System will ever incorporate a resource converter. ResEdit on the Mac such a pleasure to use, it would be nice to be able to utilize it for creating GS/OS resources with the help of a conversion program. Or, is there a IIGS version of ResEdit in the works?

Morgan, I think Apple includes a mini-ResEditor with System 5.0 and according
to some of the stuff I've read and seen, a full-blown ResEditor from a 3rd
party should be available in September..
