Does anyone have or can anyone tell me where to get documentation on Resedit? Thanks, Thuy-An thuyan@brahms.udel.edu

You can get it from BMUG. The address should be in Macuser or Macworld if you look in some of the back issues.... Steve Fullewr

>Does anyone have or can anyone tell me where to get documentation on >Resedit? >Thuy-An, thuyan@brahms.udel.edu Question keeps coming up all the time: 1) Apple Computer, Inc., "ResEdit Reference" (Addison-Wesley, 1990, $12.95). At long last, an official reference to the resource-editing program ResEdit, Apple's standard utility program for creating and editing Macintosh resources such as menus, dialog boxes, and icons, in it's ``finished'' version 2.0b2. (See also the volume by Alley and Strange listed further below.) 2) Peter Alley and Carolyn Strange, "ResEdit Complete" (Addison-Wesley, 1991, paperbound, $29.95). The first detailed introductory book on ResEdit, including 550 pages of text plus a floppy disk containing ResEdit 2.1. The first author was the project leader and codesigner of ResEdit at Apple Computer. Looks good.

I think you can get it at sumex-aim, but I'm not sure. It's pretty good if you want to learn the basics of ResEdit.

You can get the documentation from APDA but other alternatives include buying the ResEdit Reference at your local book store or ResEdit Complete by Alley Strange (both published by Addison Wesley). If you buy ResEdit Complete, it comes with a disk with ResEdit on it. You may want the documentation but many, many of us learned how to use ResEdit by playing with it which I still think is the best way. Just make sure you work on copies of your files at least until you know what you are doing.

The Resedit 2.1 Reference (no disk) is going for $14.95 here in Seattle. I've seen it both at Tower books and the local mall bookstores (BDalton, etc.). Jack Brindle ham radio: wa4fib/7

The ResEdit 2.1 reference (without disk) has a note on the back that says something like "this volume is also available in a version which includes the ResEdit software". I haven't seen it with the disk, though. (It also says that there's information on where to get ResEdit in the back of the volume, but for the life of me I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm not sure if people who don't already know that they can get it through APDA etc. will be able to find it!)

The Resedit 2.1 >Reference (no disk) is going for $14.95 here in Seattle. I've seen it >both at Tower books and the local mall bookstores (BDalton, etc.). OK, another data point. At my local B.Dalton the two books (Apple's ResEdit Reference and Alley & Strange's ResEdit Complete) both come with a ResEdit 2.1 disk and both cost the same, $29.95. Apparently there is variation, either by dealer or by part of the country, on whether Apple's ResEdit book comes with or without a disk. Perhaps some dealers have both. Perhaps they released it one way or the other, then changed their minds. The disk, when present, adds an extra $15 to the cost. -- Dave Matuszek (dave@prc.unisys.com) I don't speak for my employer. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | When I was young, my family bought a color TV.
