[comp.sys.mac.misc] RESEDIT code picker - anything but stuffit deluxe!

phd11@seq1.kl.ac.uk (A. Mcdonald) (03/08/91)

hi netters,

Just recently a Resedit code picker was posted to sumex. I've
been after a disassembler for my Mac for a loong time, but have
always had to use Macsbug etc. (and of course this implies
that the program is in memory).

The beauty of this picker (from the blurb) was that it could disassemble
CODE resources in the files themselves.

So, off I went to sumex, ftp-ed, kermited to a Mac (archaic I know),
binhexed and launched stuffit 1.5.....ping!, 'this stuffit archive has
the wrong header, use a more recent version'.

Well, I don't have stuffit deluxe, so is there anyone out there that can
tell me were this file lives in an incantation that is understood
by lowly stuffit 1.5?

Thanks for any help,
				Tony.    phd11@uk.ac.kl.seq1

In case you missed the various postings on this subject, the code editor was
given out by someone at Apple BY MISTAKE (I'm being polite here -).  By now
it should have been removed from Sumex, GEnie, and America Online.  Those
are where I know it was posted.  The version that got out was NOT ready
for release.  It has bugs!  Not the least of which is not letting go of
the menu bar handle.  If you bring in 2 code editors at one you will hang
your machine.  There are other bugs as well.

Time permitting some more features are being added.  Not the least of which
is the ability to use the HEX editor concurrently with the code editor.  Be
paitent.  It will eventually be released.  For now get rid of the copy you
got and if you know of other bulletin boards where the code editor is
posted, let me know.

Should be posted in the next day or so to comp.binaries.mac.
