ResEdit Complete 1993

From RetroTechCollection

ResEdit Complete, Second Edition is a book by Peter Alley and Carolyn Strange, published by Addison-Wesley, © 1994 (first printing December 1993), ISBN 0-201-62686-1. Stephen Hart was the technical reviewer. It covers ResEdit 2.1.1, and the acknowledgements thank Apple's ResEdit team, "especially Craig Carper", for that version. The book was sold with a disk; its label (ResEdit 2.1.1) is scanned at the back, but the disk itself is not part of the scan. The text and index are numbered to p. 431; the scan has 425 PDF pages.[1]

This edition is the second edition of ResEdit Complete 1991. Its contents keep the five parts of the first edition but drop Part Six (writing ResEdit pickers and editors) and the first edition's appendices on resources in ROM and on translating applications for other languages.[1][2]
