◊ This program is distributed as Shareware: if you like it or use it please honor the shareware system by sending $5 to the author at the address above. Since collecting international cheques is very expensive, please send cash only. If you MUST send a cheque, keep in mind that the banks will gobble up more than half of it.
◊ NOTE: Getting some (usually very few) bucks is what you write shareware for, but getting a note, a postcard or anything else is a lot better than getting nothing. I'd like to know how far this program has gone, so remember that you can do something nice even if you don't have a couple of $$$ to spare.
• WHAT IS IT?
◊ Attributor is an advanced programmer's utility designed to make life easier for programmers. Since Think C does not provide a way to set the CODE resource attributes directly (things like "purgeable" or "preload") and because most of my applications want to unload the initialization segment, I wrote this utility to stop going into ResEdit all the time. Also, Think C does not make the SIZE -1 resource purgeable as it should be.
◊ Attributor can change the resource attributes of a specific resource or of a whole resource family in a single pass. Just create an ATTR resource inside Attributor with ResEdit and modify it to meet your needs (there's a resource template in the application as well). If you check the "Change All" option, the the resource ID will be ignored and ALL resources of the specified type will be changed.
◊ Attributor comes with only one preset ATTR resource that will make your SIZE -1 resource purgeable.
• VERSION HISTORY:
◊ 1.0 - First final release.
• HAVE FUN! And don't forget to $$$ SEND YOUR CONTRIBUTION $$$ so that more cool utilities will see the light in the near future, at the low-low-low costs of shareware.
