This archive contains a few items useful if you want to change the display templates used in maX.500 2.0. This toolkit is only for those who really can't wait a few weeks for a WYSIWYG template editor (being worked on by Russ Wright of LBL).
The process you will need to go through is this:
1. edit the templates.r file to describe the templates you want. Looking at the templatetypes.r file may help.
2. Use the MPW Rez tool or the SARez that comes with ThinkC to compile the templatetypes.r and templates.r files into a binary resource file (assume it is called Rez.out).
3. Launch the RezInsert utility. It will ask you to select two files. The first is the source file (Rez.out) and the second is the destination (a copy of maX.500 2.0). RezInsert will munge the resources into a single MXPr id 100 resource and write that to the destination application or file. RezInsert will do its work silently if all goes well (it has virtually no user interface).
If you need to examine the MXPr resource, the text file "template file format" describes it fairly accurately. Send questions to me if you get stuck.
