I am trying to use DeRez to decompile some resources, but keep getting a generic "data..." format. I would like the same format as in the Types.r located in the RIncludes folder but can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David F. Johnson dfjohn01@ulkyvx

Try this: derez foo.rsrc Types.r > foo.r # where foo.rsrc has the resources # you are "derez-ing" The second through last input file names are taken for definition files. This requires the exported variable {RIncludes} (should be set up by your Startup or UserStartup. If it isn't right, give the entire pathname of Types.r Caveat / non-feature (I won't say bug): Before you run rez on the output file generated above, you must edit in the corresponding #include "Types.r" at the top of it. /JBL UUCP: {backbone}!bbn!levin POTS: (617) 873-3463 INTERNET: levin@bbn.com

Or you have to specify the description files on the Rez command line, in much the same way that you do on the DeRez command line. Larry Rosenstein, Apple Computer, Inc.

Just as a general tip, if you have questions about MPW commands/tools,
try the commando interface (command-enter on the line with the command)
or even help!
You'd be surprised at the amount if "help" provided via commando.

Whenever things 'don't seem to work', try using the Commando interface, which will build the correct syntax for you. In this instance, it sounds like you are leaving "Types.r" out of the command line. A typical DeRez command would look like this: DeRez foo.rsrc Types.r > output.r >David F.
