In response to previous articles, ResEdit 2.1 is finally out. 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! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <>William Perez <> Internet: perez@andromeda.rutgers.edu <> <>RPO 0043 POBox 5063 <> America Online: WilliWonka <> <>New Brunswick, NJ 08903 <> <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I've had no problems with it yet. NONE! Apologies if this is an FAQ but I havent yet been able to get a version of ResEdit past 1.3d1 which was capable of editing menus on my SE/30 (System 6.05) I've tried both 2.0b2 and 2.1b3. If I actually shell out the bucks to buy it from AAPDA will I be getting anything better? Or, is there a fix that I am missing? When I say incapable, I mean it crashes when I open *any* menu resource. TMON tells me that it is somewhere inside the call to _CalcMenuSize at _GetRMenu+58 1.3 still works and so thats what I use for menus -- its a pain having to remember to switch though; not to mention the annoyance of not being able to guarantee which version will be started when I click on my RSRC/RSED documents

APDA will NOT supply you with newer thing than those available on AppleLink. My opinion is that APDA is too far behind actual releases, and that they want too much money, as you have to pay for each minor upgrade og MacsBug or ResEdit you want. Third party upgrades are cheaper, but you often pay a larger initial price. The version of ResEdit that you will launch when clicking on a document is the version that you hast last moved to another folder! This is true for all programs. The mmost recently moved copy is active. -- ******************************************************* Povl H. Pedersen hp48sx@wuarchive.wustl.edu HP48sx archive maintainer
