ResEdit 3.0d1 PPC-Copland Ready

ResEdit™ 3.0 is a completely new implementation of ResEdit, designed to provide a powerful, extensible, and maintainable editing solution for resource files, PEF files, and other file types. It is being developed to replace previous versions of ResEdit, which do not run under Copland. Here are some of the features of ResEdit 3.0:

• Runs on both Copland and 7.x-based systems

• Standard Macintosh application look-and-feel

• Extensible architecture with plug-ins and scripting

• WorldScript support

• Macintosh Drag and Drop support

About this Release

This first developer release of ResEdit provides the general application framework, and includes editors for many resource types, including some new Copland types. The goal of this release is to deliver a minimal Copland-compatible resource editing solution to allow developers to experiment with the new Copland resource types, and to port their applications to Copland.

There is minimal support for editing two new Copland resources: the 'hiob' and 'txto' resources . More information about editing 'hiob' resources is in a separate document.

Current Limitations

This release is not yet a complete replacement for ResEdit 2.1.x. A number of editors from ResEdit 2.1.x are not yet implemented.

ResEdit 3.0d1 runs only on Power Macintosh computers.

The scripting language specifications—Exploder Definition Language (EDL) and Viewer Definition Language (VDL)—are not final in this release, and as such are not documented. EDL and VDL programs that work with this release will likely require changes to work with future releases.

What’s Planned for Future Releases?

• Editors for all resources supported by ResEdit 2.1.x

• Complete support for editing new Copland resource types

• ResEdit 2.1.x commands and capabilities

• Data fork editors

• Software Developer’s Kit for extending ResEdit
