- ABOUT ClearRes.
-
- ©1992 Ralph S. Sutherland
-
- WARNING:
- This little utility is DANGEROUS in the hands of the uninitiated.
- If you don't even know what a resource fork IS then stop here and
- trash ClearRes immediately. It zeros the resource fork of ANY file
- and since applications consist of CODE resources, amoung other
- things, then this little one will eat any application for breakfast,
- in a flash at that. I cannot accept any responsibility for the
- misuse of this program.
-
- SO WHAT'S IT FOR?
-
- Hopefully readers who have got this far have some idea what this
- application might be useful for. I wrote it to clean up MPW
- interface files and to clear documents that store settings in
- resource forks. ResEdit 2 will only open one file at a time
- and you don't always want to take up MBs to use MPW all the
- time so I wanted a bulk processor that was FAST.
-
- HOW DO YOU USE IT.
-
- For bulk processing, select all the files to process from the finder
- and then either drop on ClearRes (Sys 7) or just select ClearRes as
- well and double click. ClearRes will startup, clear the resources
- and quit. You may have time to see a dialog box that show which
- file has just been cleared.
-
- For single file processing, you can just start ClearRes by itself
- and it will startup and not quit. You can then clear files one
- at a time.
-
- ClearRes uses a 64K partition but you may be able to reduce this.
-
-
- FINALLY.
-
- If you have any problems, I am sorry. ClearRes is offered AS IS.
- I do not plan to support it further, still, it is freeware.
-
- cheers
