Apple's resource editor. Comes in handy for a lot of things, like changing file types or seeing invisible files.
Archive includes: ResEdit 2.1.3 in a 790KB HFS disk image mountable with Disk Copy 6.1 or later and in most Macintosh emulators.
What is ResEdit? A: ResEdit is short for Resource Editor. Resources are all of the little things inside a program that makes it what it is. For all intents and purposes, a program is divided into two parts, called forks. One part is the Data Fork, which is the inner guts of a program. The other part is the Resource Fork. The resource fork is the place where all of the pictures, icons, sounds, and other multimedia goodies are stored. With ResEdit, you can change those resources to customize a program.
Amended: Removed the virus infected ResEdit from the Macintosh Garden with a fresh clean (virus checked and virus free) copy. Using same Mini vMac 1.4MB friendly disk image format to archive but have compressed it as well, now in a .sit format using Stuffit Lite 3.6 so Mini vMac users should still be able to access this.
Amended 2: The download link above now works correctly, thanks.
Amended 3: Added the original ResEdit_2.1.3.sea.bin from Apple Computer and a self-extracting StuffIt archive containing a 790KB (instead of 1440KB) disk image.
This archive should have the MD5 checksum and file size:
9166dae37b91a727382ee59f5a7e123f *ResEdit.sit
07b93ea43811f069ccdb166d1cb7e19c *ResEdit_2.1.3.sea.bin

Uploaded and replaced with a clean ResEdit
Yes; This from a Disinfectant 3.7.1 scan today:
However; Not for much longer
I have a good clean copy of this and will post it up shortly - somebody has to do it
Same 1.4MB in size but in a .sit archive to make it easier for folks to use.
Is the uploaded file still infected?
Use Disinfectant
that it'll take care of that.
This version of ResEdit is infected with the virus nVIR A
Please .sit the Mini vMac friendly 1.4 MB disk image.
Be warned, people, ResEdit is a great way of breaking your OS, as I have found out with much experimentation as to what can be done with it. It is fun though.
Be sure to have a bootable backup volume!
I yanked every cool sound out of Spectre Supreme, After Dark and Aperion (pre OSX) using little old ResEdit, and my department had the coolest system sounds for years. Those were the days... When I can afford a new computer (right), I plan to turn my old iMac, which I am using right now and is still functioning very well, into a pure OS 9 environment, and pick up right where I left off. THANK YOU, mac garden!!
I use it to change Splash Screens and Menu Names in my favorite programs.
You need ResEdit when things oblige you a hard way. You know, in older Mac OS (before OSX), such kind of situations are common.
