The file “CODE editor for ResEdit 2.1” contains a ResEdit 2.1 (or later) RSSC resource that adds a disassembly viewer to ResEdit to handle CODE and code-like resources. This allows you to view code resources as assembly code instead of “raw” hex. When added to ResEdit version 2.1.1 or later, the CODE editor can also operate concurrently with the basic HEXA editor, providing editing and searching capabilities as well. The disassembly code is annotated with the module names extracted from the MacsBug strings in the code. Navigation facilities are provided to allow viewing related pieces of code. Special formatting may be applied to the disassembly for embedded data that cannot normally be distinguished from actual code. There are also facilities to allow you to answer the question “who references this location?”.
Things changed since the previous release:
1. A new “Goodies” menu item called “Window”. it allows you to set the CODE editor prefereces to remember the window size and/or position. Previously these couldn't be controlled and the previous window size and position were always used. This could lead to “confusion” when dealing with multiple windows.
Please read “CODE Editor Doc” (MS Word 4 or MacWrite II) for full details. Also, the simplest way to install the CODE editor is to copy all its resources into the ResEdit Preferences file in the System Folder. You should start with a “clean” copy of ResEdit 2.1.1. See documentation for complete details.
