This might be old news, but what happened to ResEdit? Can't find it on Apple's site.

In regard to the Hypercard comment:
I looked at the page and it seems that hypercard's functionality is totally present in the services that are available using a web browser, and a web browser is cross platform.
I admit near complete ignorance at what hypercard is, but what does it offer that you cant do with html ?

No no, oh man, you're missing out 
Hypercard is amazing.
Much faster than HTML of course.
MUCH easier than having to learn PERL, and PHP, and Javascript, and learning to write applets and HTML, CSS, etc, to get out of a web browser HALF of what you could do with HyperCard in a single language, and a graphical development environment.
Not to mention HyperCard CAN incorporate C, C++, Pascal, and so on.
HyperCard rules.

Try this directory:
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Developer_Utilities/ResEdit_2.1.3/
Apple seems to have neglected all the old tools now that OS X is the
favorite baby. I especially miss the MIDI support. That said, you're
probably better off buying a copy of Resourcerer anyway, it's much
better than ResEdit!
Best o'luck,

Argh, no way!
Resourcer is utter rubbish.
What a rip off!
I'd rather pay for ResEdit than get Resourcer for free...
Although its the other way around in reality.
Super ResEdit absolutely rocks.
Nothing compares. Especially to the UI.

resedit is still out there. I just downloaded a copy a few days ago.
Its pretty old software though, so it doesn't work with a lot of newer resource types that have cropped up in recent times.
Once we all move to OS X, resedit wont be helpful anyway.

I hope Apple releases the source so that someone can carbonize it....
It's the single most useful little chunk of freeware on my hard drive.

Just curious , is there going to be a use for Resedit in OS X? Does OS X use Resources like previous Mac OS releases. I just picked up a mac programming for dummies book and was thinking if i need to worry about using Resedit ?

OSX doesn't have resource/data forks the same way as OS9... its all stored in the data fork.
BUT - you can move things from data to resource, edit in OS9, then move the data back to the data fork.
I'll find the addy for this utility...
EDIT: Change "...same way as OSX" to read "...same way as OS9"

Actually, resourcerer is really useful for certain things. Especially for programmers. Its aete editor really rocks, for example.
Also, Cipher13 is a bit wrong on his last point. OS X still supports standard resourceforks. This isn't recommended though, and I think it's only really used for carbon CFM applications that need to maintain resourceforks so they can run on both OS X and OS 9. OS X also provides several files that are resourcefork-in-datafork. This makes it a bit harder to edit them, but not impossible. You just need a utility to switch between the 2. Search the OS X General Discussion archives for the thread about hacking up themes if you really care.

"The same way as".
I never said it didn't use them.
The sentence after that one was badly phrased, and not what I meant
