Apple's resource editor. Comes in handy for a lot of things, like
changing file types or seeing invisible files.
What is ResEdit? A: ResEdit is short for Resource Editor. Resources
are all of the little things inside a program that makes it what it
is. For all intents and purposes, a program is divided into two parts,
called forks. One part is the Data Fork, which is the inner guts of a
program. The other part is the Resource Fork. The resource fork is the
place where all of the pictures, icons, sounds, and other multimedia
goodies are stored. With ResEdit, you can change those resources to
customize a program.
