4.0 out of 5 stars All You Need to Know about ResEdit, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ResEdit Complete (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

For a long time Res Edit has been an undocumented software that targeted an elite group of MacOs-savvy people that ventured behind the shell of the desktop. With this book, now anyone can explore Res Edit and learn how to customize your desktop, system, applications and other software safely. It's written in a very easy to understand manner and it's full of samples that'll guide you through each chapter. In a nut shell, this is the best ResEdit reference book I've read.
