In the ResEdit Reference For ResEdit version 2.1, there is a section titled "Prerequisites" which states: To run ResEdit 2.1, the system you use must have at least 128 kilobytes of ROM and at least 1 megabyte of RAM memory. (sic) That is, ResEdit 2.1 doesn't run on the Macintosh Plus or earlier machines. This runs contrary to my experience to date, as I have been using ResEdit 2.1 on my Mac+ for some time now. Admittedly, I have not yet used every feature available, but it seems to work just fine. My question: have I been lucky? Am I headed for a fall? Or is the documentation in error? It would be a shame if this much improved and nifty tool were to become unavailable to those of us using old, small machines. There are still some things (even on a Mac+) that I cannot do (easily) any other way. - Scott Scott Hankin (hankin@osf.org) | "I don't understand women."
