ResEditFixer wasn't made to fix anything specific to 2.0b2. The same problem exists with all previous versions of ResEdit. The basic problem is that when you open a non-running system file, the toolbox starts using defProcs and other resources from that file instead of the running system. This wasn't a major problem in the past, but with System 7, support was added for extra stuff like system menus and color. Compressed resources also cause problems because 6.0 system don't know how to decompress them. But ResEdit 2.1 addresses all these issues. It's great! Greg Marriott Just Some Guy Apple Computer, Inc.

The first time I launched ResEdit 2.1 I got an alert which said, in effect, that I apparently had the ResEditFixer installed, that it was no longer needed, and suggested that I remove it (which I did, with no ill effects).

It's official and will be distributed to replace the old 1.2. It works with system 7.0 as well and has MANY bug fixes and new features. I've had no problems with it yet. NONE! Well, I have encountered some troubles with my copy of ResEdit 2.1: Try the DITL editor. The grid only works when moving objects but not when changing the size of them. The grid was set to: h:4,v:4. Moreover, after using the DITL editor for some time it starts failing to update the window properly and finally hangs. I also very often get the message "Memory is dangerousely low..." no matter how big the application memory is. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lars Sundstrom, Lund University, Department of Applied Electronics, | | Box 118, S-221 00 Lund, Sweden Phone: +46-46121598 Fax:+46-46129948 | | Internet: sund@tde.lth.se | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+

For example, if there are DITL resources 128 through 135, and ALRT resources 128 and 129, creating a new ALRT will cause the ALRT to use DITL 130, not a new DITL 136. This is different that the actions of the older ResEdits. Is this a new feature? Personally, I dislike it, because I feel that creating a new alert implies creating a new DITL...

Where is the latest version of ResEdit (I'm assuming it's 2.1) available from?
Also, is it still shareware/freeware/whatever the early versions were?
Thanx in advance, and please reply directly to me.
Peace and Long Life,
Doug

Doug,
Resedit 2.1 is available from BMUG (Berkeley Mac User's Group) so I assume
it's probably available at a user's group in Iowa (there must be one at the
college). If you can't find it locally, contact me and I'll send you a copy
for a disk and some postage.

Thanks to all those that answer my "in which ftp-site can I find resedit2.1" question. The answer seems to be "in none." Apparently copyright prevents that resedit be distributed via ftp. Guillermo Scharffenorth.
