[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Resource De-compiler

jkeegan@hawk.ulowell.edu (Jeff Keegan) (09/02/89)

I am currently looking for a resource de-compiler.. Does anyone have any
recommendations as far as which program to use? I'd also like to know where
one can be found.. I haven't been able to find any on the few sites I
checked..

Thanks in advance.

MPW has a tool called "derez" which takes resource files and decompiles them
into either straight hex dumps or into formatted files (given the appropriate
template files).  The output from "derez" is a text file which can be
inputted to "rez" which takes resource specification files and turns them
into resource files.

Hope this helps.
