[comp.sys.mac.programmer] How up-to-date is ResEdit?

Is there a version of ResEdit or other resource editor that lets
you edit the newer and more exotic resource types, such as
color patterns (ppat) and color icons (cicn)?

Resedit 1.2b3 seems to have ppats, though not cicns.  There are a
bunch of new templates; don't have color so nothing jumps out.

Not quite: ResEdit 1.2b3 has a template for ppat's, not an editor, so
you will be able to see the fields at the top of the resource more
easily, but the guts of the data is still "data".
