All of the ResEdits I've seen with the 1.2 version are appended with a
"d" and then another number, x. Folks, that means "ResEdit version 1.2,
development version #x." It's not even BETA yet! It even has a few
debugging features still left in it, as was posted earlier to this net.
People complaining about a development version of a program having bugs
is somewhat similar to the case of a software pirate complaining for lack
of documentation or user support.

I like 1.2d2, and will most likely migrate to 1.2d3 when it circulates down
to around these parts. I won't expect it to be bug-free, however, until
it shows up as "ResEdit 1.2" with no "d"s, "b"s, or "a"s attached, and is
fully endorsed by apple as an officially released program.
No offense intended to anyone, you understand. It's just that this whole
thing stopped being humorous after the first dozen posts.
