>I couln't agree with you more! Such a powerful and important application >as ResEdit should not have such an informal, ad hoc distribution system. And while we're at it, how about a ResEdit manual, giving an overview of how the various resource editors in ResEdit work? I keep discovering neat useful features each time I use ResEdit. -Ted Johnson ...hplabs!hpdtc!tedj

Don't ask them for too much. WE only want ResEdit to be more recognized for what it is. Asking Apple to document ResEdit is like asking them to fit Inside Macintosh on one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Alexander M.

In fact, we have a person working on ResEdit full-time fixing bugs (and then making enhancements). A writer is also working on a ResEdit manual. This version of ResEdit will at least (that's the key word here) be available through APDA when MPW 3.0 beta is released early this summer. ResEdit will be available in a separate package from MPW. The same applies to MacsBug... it has been completely rewritten, has a new manual, will be available separately, etc. Tom Taylor Development Systems Group

But do they still come with MPW too? Or do we now have to buy them separately? A couple of suggestions for ResEdit: 1) Make ResEdit available as an MPW tool - one can always Cmd-Option-Open it outside MPW (or use itself to change its TYPE to APPL). 3) Fully integrate ResEdit into the MPW editor. A little more ambitious and we would lose ResEdit except as part as MPW (I guess the current ResEdit could be frozen). I would like to just open the resource part of a file in MPW as another window.
