This thing appeared on a number of ftp sites a few months ago, and
then abruptly disappeared a few days later.  Afterwards, there was a
message here from MacDTS to the effect that the program had been
released by mistake, and would you please delete all copies in your
possession please?

This is a real copy of ResEdit, but you are not supposed to have it.
Version 1.2 of ResEdit is the current release version, to my knowledge.
