Are there any good resource editors for the GS? Preferably shareware or public domain (I don't have Rez or DeRez...) The one I am using now is ResLin version 0.04. Is there a newer version out? It crashes a lot when I try to copy resources from one file to another. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ | Brian T.

The new version 1.2.1 has many new features and will even generate the basic code for your desktop program (IE. the TaskMaster loop etc.) Now the bad news - it is not freeware or shareware. Its commercial and can be obtained from APDA for $150 (US) or from Roger Coats mail-order for less than $100 (US). But the good news is that its worth every penny, if you intend to do any resource programming on the GS. I'd say its just about as useful as the 3 toolbox references and a lot more educational (not to mention fun). A must-have for any GS programmer. (or wanna-be) P.S. Hey Brian check out your mail on Apple Core - I had trouble responding to you over the Net. -- Allan Belyea UUCP: 3755 Riverside Dr. Cognos Incorporated alb@cognos P.O.

I want to copy icons and XCMD's and sounds from one HCGS stack to another, but ResLin crashes too often during a long copy. By the way, I got your mail on Apple Core. Thanks! \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ | Brian T.

Sounds like what would do the job is REZ/DeREZ, but you've already said yo don't have it. Sounds like a good project for someone though. -- Allan Belyea UUCP: 3755 Riverside Dr. Cognos Incorporated alb@cognos P.O.
