Apologies if this is an FAQ but I havent yet been able to get a version of
ResEdit past 1.3d1 which was capable of editing menus on my SE/30 (System 6.05)
I've tried both 2.0b2 and 2.1b3.  If I actually shell out the bucks to buy it
from AAPDA will I be getting anything better?  Or, is there a fix that I am
missing?

When I say incapable, I mean it crashes when I open *any* menu resource. TMON
tells me that it is somewhere inside the call to _CalcMenuSize at _GetRMenu+58
1.3 still works and so thats what I use for menus -- its a pain having to
remember to switch though; not to mention the annoyance of not being able to
guarantee which version will be started when I click on my RSRC/RSED documents
