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
