I was exploring Excel with Resedit (1.1d) and was unable to access code segment number 1 by double clicking on it. Ok, I said, so I tried OPEN AS. Still no reponse. Hmm.. OPEN GENERAL again yields no reponse. OK, guys... any idear what is going on? Has MS copy protected the code segment? It has stuff in it as get info shows. Interestingly there is a PCODE resource that acts the same as CODE 1. I explored a few other programs and ran across this in scattered places. (Darterminal, Illustrator...) All and any comments, solutions, and idears would be greatly appreciated. -Waltervj@dartvax. idear =/= I am a dear... idear == idea with a Maine accent. :-)

"Too large," unfortunately, does not seem to go up if you have more memory. -- David Goldsmith Apple Computer, Inc.

ResEdit will refuse to open a resource that is too big for it to manage (meaning it needs enough memory to hold the resource but also to display it). From the looks of it, the latest ResEdit uses 3 List Manager lists to display GNRL (which is what CODE opens up to anyway): the limitations on displaying resources bigger than a certain size may also have something to do with limits in the List Manager. As an aside, how about somebody taking a PD 68000 Disassembler and making it the ResEdit Editor for CODE (this does not require recompilation of ResEdit-- yay Apple!). I've long wanted to do this and have no time to. But think of the accolades from the development community! -Eric Eric K. Olson olson@endor.harvard.edu harvard!endor!olson

Look at the size of your resource. I've had a whole bunch of problems with ResEdit and large resources. Don't know what version of ResEdit can handle them (I haven't met any yet). Dan Schwendener "If God had intended Man to program, we'd be born with serial I/O ports
