[comp.sys.mac.apps] ResEdit 2.1

eaeu137@orion.oac.uci.edu (Andrew Theodore Laurence) (03/14/91)

A recent post inquired about a book for Resedit v2.1

I found a book called "Reference for Resedit 2.1"  The author is listed as 
Apple, and its published by Addison-Wesley, ISBN# 0-201-577-682.  They currently
have three on order, none in the store.  If interested, call Irvine Sci-Tech 
Books, (714) 733-1002.

Good Luck,

isbn 0-201-57767-4 is the book only.

Say, Can anyone tell me where I can get a hold of ResEdit v2.1 on the internet cos I feel like I'm missing out in a big way.  Any help appreciated.  Please reply to jww502@csc2.anu.edu.au.

And BTW, I have nothing to do with  Computer Services Centre, I just can't figure out how to work this editor (I usually use a Mac for Mail/News etc.)  In fact It'l be a miracle if this article gets posted !

 I saw a book called "ResEdit Complete" in a B. D. Dalton
bookstore and it contained a disk with ResEdit 2.1 on it.
By the way I checked sumax in the info-mac/tech folder, a
lot of addons for ResEdit are there but I did not see the
program itself.  The cost of ResEdit Complete is $29.99
(I think.)
Hopes this helps some of the people looking for ResEdit.

While we're talking about ResEdit, I can't help but wonder the methods that
are needed to modify the WDEF resources.  I'm not talking about one of those
PD/Shareware INITs.  I'm talking about modifying the actual thinggie in
ResEdit.  Two questions about this.
1)  Does ResEdit Complete happen to mention this?
2)  If not, am I gonna hafta resort to Inside Macintosh?

I know this question has been asked a couple thousend times here, but
I have never seen the  answer.  Is there any FTP site (not APDA or APPLE
LINK, I have no access to them) which has resedit 2.1?  I tried in
sumex and umich, and had no luck.  Can someone please email this info
to me?  I would really appreciate, I am using resedit 2.0bx which I think
has many bugs.

Thanks,

ResEdit 2.1 is licensed software - so look on commercial networks or maybe
in a user group's distribution -

and the book about ResEdit 2.1 has a copy tightly wrapped into the back -
so tightly glued in that getting it out without destroying the back cover
is a challenge.

By the way, make a duplicate copy of any resource file before you use this
program and frequently save it, especially if doing anything with - hmm,
everything I tried failed at least once corrupting the resource file,
didn't it now - keep copious numbers of backups, that's a good boy.

Oh yes, you'll probably have to pay for the book.

At the risk of stating the obvious, its not a big deal to slit the plastic with a razor blade and take the disk out.  There is no real need to remove the plastic is there?

If you're interested in another book with Resedit 2.1 (and some cool
resources), the 2nd edition of Zen and the Art of Resource Editing,
published by BMUG, has just come out.  It's a little less expensive
than "Resedit Complete" ($20/$15 for BMUG members/$5 off if you bought
the first edition).

Disclaimer: I've been a volunteer with BMUG since 1985, and know the
editors and several of the writers.  It's still a great book :-).
