I didn't mean it like that... Apple distributes Resedit for FREE and I
*appreciate* that. If it were a commercial product, i would likely buy it.
As being a frequent Mac user, I've become attached to Resedit... it's
probably my most frequently used program.

So what's my problem? My problem is that developers and user groups can just
dial up Applelike NOW and download the RELEASE version of Resedit. It's
not even beta. This is it. This is 2.1.

Yet there are many of us here on the net that simply want to get our hands
on it, just like we did with Resedit 2.0b2... yet, we're stuck without it
for perhaps a month because Apple's not going to get around to saying it's
okay to put it up for FTP, or for download on AOL...

If I sound like i'm slamming the people that work at Apple, i'm not... or
i'm trying not too... i'm just expressing my feelings toward the delays,
which probably are shared by some others on the net.
