I (finally) found a Resource Editor that works with Executor 1.99m. As you will recall there have been extensive reports by a.o. myself that Apple's ResEdit does not work (seems to work but it crashes whenever you try to do something useful - come to think of it that that is more or less the definition of a computer anyway!). The one that does work is a very, very, very old version, namely the precursor to ResEdit, called REdit. Its release date is January, 7th 1986 so it is a bit obsolete to say the least. This was the first publicly available resource editor from Apple (and probably still is copyrighted by Apple). The version (1.2) I tested comes from CompuServe, but it might be available on the net also. The program (REDIT.APP) probably is much more limited than ResEdit 2.1.3 but it is a start. There also is an excellent (MacWrite) manual in the file REDIT.WRT I tried editing an icon and that worked fine (in b/w though; in 1986 there were no color Macs). I fully agree with Clifford's remarks about not uploading software to this mailing list so you will not find it here, but if someone emails me directly I can send the two files to you. Please bear in mind that this probably still is Apple copyrighted software which implies that you probably can only use this software legally when you own a Mac (thus having paid for the operating system). I own a PB165 so I am fine =:-) Ernst J. Oud 'Appreciate what you've got, 'cause basically I'm fantastic.' Holly the ship's computer of spaceship Red Dwarf.
