Y'know how whenever you want to a add a template or editor to ResEdit, you have to paste the thing into the ResEdit Preferences file? Some packages contain several resources, making it a real pain in the neck to remove them later. And what happens when your prefs file gets corrupted? You get hozed. And then you have to search around on all your CDs, floppies and network sites to re-assemble your comfy ResEdit universe.
“ResEdit Extensions” adds a folder to your preferences folder. Conveniently enough, this folder is named “ResEdit Extensions”. Any ResEdit documents in this folder will be opened when ResEdit is launched. It would be as if all of those little files were automatically pasted in to your ResEdit Preferences file. This is good.
Better yet, if you have multiple system folders, and want to use the same set of preferences under each system, just put an alias to the ResEdit Extensions folder in your Preferences folder. The alias must be called "ResEdit Extensions". This is also good.
How much does this wonderful thing cost?
--------------------------------------
This program is free. Totally free. If someone sold you this program, you should get your money back. That's because it's a free program. Of course, that doesn't mean you can say you wrote it. I wrote it. By myself. I wrote it becuase I wanted to, not because I had to. That means it's totally mine. It's mine because I wrote it. In other words, Copyright 1993, Damon Cokenias All rights reserved.
Just 'cause it's mine doesn't mean someone else can't use it. Everyone can use it, that's why it's so free. You just can't charge someone to use it, unless it's a download fee, or disk copying fee, or those usual annoyances.
One other thing. Don't expect me to buy you a new computer because your hard drive got eaten on the same day you installed this program. Don't expect me to buy you anything, or give you any money for any reason. In other words, I don't think it will crash or chew up your data, but if it does you're on your own. The best you could hope for would be a full refund. That means zero. See above paragraph for pricing information.
Oh yeah. The source code is free. But I wrote it. I like it. Don't say you wrote it, that's rude. And untrue. You can use it, though. Just tell me it was helpful and maybe credit me in your product if you used a particularly juicy bit.
