I am currently fighting with ResEdit 2.1, and I'm having a very
annoying problem with it.  I can only use Resedit once before having
to restart the computer.  Let's say I boot up my Mac SE.  Sometime I
run Resedit, and things work out beautifully.  But if I try to run it
again the thing gives me a message dialogue saying that the Finder on
that particular volume is corrupted, and I hav eto restart the
computer.  The message seems to be coming from Resedit because the
Resedit icon is in the right-hand corner the screen (I'm running
MultiFinder).  I replaced the Finder, but I'm not really looking
forward to replacing the entire System Folder.

I am running Resedit 2.1 on a Mac SE with System 6.0.5/6.1.5.  Worked
fine for a while, but then this started coming up.  The application
resides on a partition that does not have a System Folder -- does that
make a difference?  I have tried replacing my working copy of Resedit
with a copy of the original, and that didn't do any good.  I have
checked for viruses, and none showed up.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Please EMAIL responses
to csmith@lewhoosh.umd.edu or smithc@stolaf.edu -- just in case for
some reason you can't reach me at one or the other.

Thanks very much in advance!
