True enough, but Apple doesn't make it available for anonymous FTP.  I'd
be surprised, too, if Apple's licensing agreement (for other companies,
that is) allowed ResEdit to be distributed to anonymous users.  They do
allow distribution on CompuServer and AppleLink (and probably others),
but access to those services is controlled (which, as I said in another
message, is the point--Apple doesn't want ResEdit to be available to
any user without having some information about them).
