How do I go about getting a copy of Rescopy? Is it available by anonymous FTP? Jeff Kulp kulp@cs.nps.navy.mil

There's lots of other good stuff in the power tools stack although you've got to dig a little to find it. I particularly like the superGrouper and the XCMD to display a scrollable list dialog box (whose name, I think, is showList). One peculiarity of rescopy is that it won't open itself (in the mistaken belief that you're trying to modify the stack you're working with). This is a bit of a problem because of all the useful resources in the power tools stack (like the XCMD referred to above). To get around this you must first "save a copy" and then you can open that with res mover and copy resources from it to your heart's content. By the way, having got version 2.0 from BMUG for $15 (a bargain, as I'm not even a member) I'm a little miffed at having to ante up another $49 to get 2.0 v2 from Claris. Does anyone know of a legal route for me to upgrade my legally purchased 2.0 without it being considered just like an upgrade from 1.x?
