We recently purchased a copy of MPW v2.0.2 (as well as
MACApp v1.1.1, MPW Pascal v2.0.2 and MPW C v2.0.2) thru APDA
and found that if ResEdit is used to examine/edit DLOG
for a particular application the windowing system's integrity
is corrupted. The Dialog window which is presented is half
exposed and cannot be recovered unless a sub-window is selected
and then closed. The window is then regenerated properly but
it is corrupted as soon as it is selected again.
We contacted APDA for a product status and found that there is
both an update to MPW v2.0.2 (US$15) _AND_ ResEdit (US$10) [as
well as a new v3.0B1 of MPW for big $$].
My questions to the net are;
1) has anyone experienced these problems with ResEdit?
2) if yes, will either of the upgrades fix the problem
(or any info on what exactly the upgrades are for;-
the person at APDA didn't have a clue).
3) or is this a Multifinder/system problem?
We have a MAC II with 2 MB running Multifinder 6.0, System 4.2
and have ResEdit v1.1B3.
Thanx in advance for any help.

(This opens a whole discussion of whether one should be required
to _PAY_ for bug fixes to a software product which was released
in a BETA form [v1.1B3]. Being an APDA member buys you nothing
other than the priviledge to purchase their products at the
member price [there is no non-member price]).
