I am also very interested in TMPL resource info.

A friend pointed out to me that ResEdit itself contains a bunch of TMPL resources. From these I was able to guess what most of the 4-letter codes mean. -- Jim Walker jwwalker@usceast.cs.scarolina.edu 76367.2271@compuserve.com

Resedit V1.2, Item # M0015LLB from APDA includes a manual. This
contains a descripton of all of those 4 letter codes and how to write
code to implement your own editors. I just received mine a few days
ago after the some net people recommended getting it. Thanks for all
your help.

I wish Apple would upload the entire ResEdit docs to apple.com but since they haven't, here's what I could figure out-- DBYT, DWRD, DLNG - decimal byte, word, long HBYT, HWRD, HLNG - hex b, w, l HEXD - hex dump of remaining bytes PSTR - Pascal string (normal 8-bits) LSTR - long Pascal string (32-bits) WSTR - 16-bit length Pascal string ESTR, OSTR - Pascal string padded to even or odd length CSTR - C string ECST, OCST - even or odd padded C string BOOL - boolean (not 1 bit) BBIT - boolean bit TNAM - type name (4 char) CHAR - a single char RECT - guess Hnnn - nnn is a hex number < $900; displays nnn bytes in hex LSTZ ... LSTE - List Zero - List End. (like MENU's) ZCNT LSTC ... LSTE - Zero Count/List Count - List End (like DITL's) OCNT LSTC ... LSTE - One Count/List Count - List End (like STR#'s) LSTB ... LSTE - no examples exist Josh.

(list of TMPL codes deleted)
I've a bit more info on some of these types. It is from playing
with TMPLs and some old, old documentation.
(the documentation I have is from the 12/85 Software Supplement!):
FBYT,FWRD
Filler byte or word, not settable or viewable when editing the
resource (see the example in TMPL "MENU"). FLNG apparently
doesn't exist in ResEdit.
AWRD I have no idea what this does. It's in the TMPL "CTY#", the
map cdev's format for a list of city data. Anybody know
what an AWRD is supposed to be? And if there's an ABYT or ALNG?
OSTR, ESTR
These types are Pascal Strings, padded to odd or even length
(including the length byte), not C strings as previously
described in this group and in the documentation. The padding
(a zero) appears at the end of the string if needed, and the
length byte is not updated to include the padding.
LSTB/LSTE
An example of this kind of list is the TMPL for TMPL's. These
list's lengths are inferred from the length of the resource.
BOOL
This is a two-byte value, with the lowest bit in the high
byte set if TRUE (like a Pascal BOOLEAN pushed on the stack).
LSTC, LSTZ
These are two-byte values.
Hope this helps someone!

Anybody know > what an AWRD is supposed to be? And if there's an ABYT or ALNG? AWRD means "align the next thing on a word boundary". Seems to, anyway. There is an ALNG, but ABYT would serve no purpose. >LSTC, LSTZ > These are two-byte values. More precisely, LSTC is the beginning of a list, which should be preceded by a (two-byte) ZCNT or OCNT count. LSTZ starts a list that is terminated by a zero byte. These are all guess-and-check deductions, I still don't have any documentation. -- Jim Walker jwwalker@usceast.cs.scarolina.edu 76367.2271@compuserve.com
