For some strange reason it gives the first application opened a lot more 
memory than if the same application is opened later.

Unfortunately I don't have a hard disk and have not finished writing my 
dissertation ;-].  I would not want to even put a floppy with the 
only copy of anything in my mac with a piece of Beta test software
like this.

If the only alternative is ResEdit, then I don't see the lack of safeties
as a problem.  Servant is kind of cute having icons for each of the
resources.  The big problem is that it does not seem to have editting
templates for many of the common resources.  The fonts, DITL, DLOG's,
BNDL's, etc. all come up with a generic binary editor. The only resources
that seemed to work were the icons (which can actually be editted from
the desktop), and STR's, tho' I have not checked that many.
