Yeah, but what can you modify with it?  An editor that doesn't work with
everything seems pretty useless to me.  Since everything on the Mac uses
resources (even if Microsoft usually uses bizarre mutant forms of the
usual stuff), you can change just about anything without learning to
reprogram binaries with a debugger merely by using ResEdit.

Simple example: adding a slash-0 to a font like Monaco was trivial,
creating M0nac0 which worked in *anything*, Word, PageMaker, TeachText,
et. al... even the Finder.  Try that with Borland's Resource Editor on
the PC (well, ok, assume I mean the DOS COMMAND.COM interface instead of
the Finder then ;-).
