  A WDEF resource is just a chunk of 68000 code.  See Inside Mac for
details.  There are probably disassemblers around for it; the source
for the standard WDEF is available on apple.com.  To create one, you
can just use your favorite compiler--MPW, THINK Pascal, and THINK C
all make this easy.  (OK, "easy" is relative.  Fairly easy?)

  This is a CDEF resource, and the same answers as above apply.
