Resource editors

From 4DWiki

Resource editors are needed to edit the resource fork of 4D structure and data files. These resource forks were very common on Mac OS9 and although they are less common on OSX and non-existant on Windows, 4D still uses them for various reasons:

• storage of fonts
• storage of sounds
• mechanism to store multiple language strings
• certain preferences (eg. WEDD)
• probably some others

There are a few useful tools to edit these resources:

• ResFool http://www.ljug.com/sw/resfool.html
• Resorcerer http://www.mathemaesthetics.com/ResorcererIndex.html
• Rezilla http://sourceforge.net/projects/rezilla
• 4D based Res-edit, which can used on Win as well http://www.orchardsoft.com/news_links/4Dapps/resource_editor.htm
• and there's still Apple's ResEdit 2.1.3, but it works only under Classic.
