> 1) Resedit 1.1b1  - On some files, like 'Finder', I get a message:
>
> 	Error opening Resource File (-49)

This error message means:

-49	opWrErr	The read/write permission of only one access
		path to a file can allow writing.

In other words, the file is being used.  This makes sense, since finder is
running, you are not allowed to go changing the contents of its file.  Close
the finder (is this possible?), and it should run.

In my opinion, the 'bug' is with the system error handler, or the
application's error handler.  It should report some meaningful
message, in addition to the cryptic error number, and then allow the
option of:

	1) recover with the application's resume procedure.
	2) ignore  the error, and proceed at your own risk
	3) quit    the application and return to (multi)finder;
	4) reset   the mac.

I would hilite option 1 if there is a resume procedure, 3 if the
finder is available (findername != currapplname) and 4 otherwise.

Unfortunately, the text for all these messages would take up
incredible amounts of room.
