If you are looking for a better way to change the workings of
a program, try getting a team of programs called extract and combine.
get them at Oregon State (cs.orst.edu) in
/pub/next/sources/programming
as
NibEditor.tar.Z, it is only about 30K, but is GREAT!!!
What it does is just rip a program apart, but very
humaiely... it compiled fine, no hitches, on my NeXTstation
running 2.1 w/ a 400MB drive, and 8MB of RAM.
This is a very clean, shell based program
that does the trick, better than 'segedit app _NIB etc...'
Have fun,

I've also dropped off my 'nibedit.shar' package in the submissions directory on sontat.cc.purdue.edu which has extract/combine programs written in perl. It also extracts all of the .tiff, .snd and icon sections from the Mach-O file as well as the NIB sections. All you need is PERL, which should be standard equipment on ever UNIX box for doing hacking like this. louie
