  ResEdit is perhaps better than Resourse Workshop. However,
that is only because Resourse Workshop CANNOT affect DOS
files, because they don't use resourses.

  However, Resourse Workshop can do ALMOST everthing that
ResEdit can do - on a Windows program. It all depends on
if the program in question uses standard resourses. If it
does - you can change Icons, Bitmaps, Menus, Dialog
Boxes, Controls, etc...

  What pisses me off is the programs that do self checking
so that if you change a resourse, the program doesn't run.
I don't see whay that is neccessary. I enjoy changing
all of the menu entries to stupid things, like Kill for
delete or Create for new.

  Oh well...
