A month or two ago I donwloaded the lastest and greatest Resedit v1.2, only to find the it crashes like crazy (mainly while doing Get Info's). I have since rolled back to the previous version (I think it 1.1d2, or 1.1b3) and I once again Resedit is an indispensable tool. I must compiliment the developers of ResEdit for an EXTREMELY usefule tool, but it's another thing to come out with a newer version that MORE buggy. I'll stick to 1.1d2 or 1.1b3 for now. :------------------------------------------------------------: : Tom Carstensen Usenet: tomc@mntgfx.MENTOR.COM : : Mentor Graphics Delphi: CARSTENSEN : : GEnie: XPC23637 : : : : Predictable really I suppose, it was an act of purist : : optimism to pose the question in the first place. : : - Monty Python (Cheese Shop) : :------------------------------------------------------------:

All of the ResEdits I've seen with the 1.2 version are appended with a "d" and then another number, x. Folks, that means "ResEdit version 1.2, development version #x." It's not even BETA yet! It even has a few debugging features still left in it, as was posted earlier to this net. People complaining about a development version of a program having bugs is somewhat similar to the case of a software pirate complaining for lack of documentation or user support. > > I'll stick to 1.1d2 or 1.1b3 for now. I like 1.2d2, and will most likely migrate to 1.2d3 when it circulates down to around these parts. I won't expect it to be bug-free, however, until it shows up as "ResEdit 1.2" with no "d"s, "b"s, or "a"s attached, and is fully endorsed by apple as an officially released program. No offense intended to anyone, you understand. It's just that this whole thing stopped being humorous after the first dozen posts. > : Tom Carstensen Usenet: tomc@mntgfx.MENTOR.COM : > : Mentor Graphics Delphi: CARSTENSEN : > : GEnie: XPC23637 : --chris /---------------------------------v------------------------------\ ( J.
