  What is the current version of ResEdit? I can never keep track of their
version system.

As far as I know, that highest version is V1.2B3.

The version systems isn't too hard to figure, especially after reading a 
recent technote. Before the period is the main version number, and after is
the revision number. If a letter follows, it's either an 'a', 'b', or 'd',
standing for 'alpha', 'beta' and 'development'. After this is the (alpha,
beta, development) version. At least, that's how I remember it without 
re-reading the technote.

Dear Gregory -
	The latest released version of ResEdit is 1.2B3.  The next released 
version will be 1.2.  This should be released sometime during the third
quarter (fiscal April to May time frame) through APDA.
	The Apple version numbering scheme, which I find one of the most
rational around is the following.
	Number.Number"D"Number indicates a Development version.  These do
			       not go out of Apple.

	Number.Number"A"Number indicates an Alpha version.  These do not
			       go out of Apple, except as part of a seeding.

	Number.Number"B"Number indicates a Beta version.  These sometimes
			       go out of Apple through APDA.

	The bigger the number going from left to right, the later the 
version.  
	For more information on version numbering, see the version numbering
tech note.
