The Development Systems Group (the group that develops MPW) has taken on
the support of ResEdit.  In fact, we have a person working on ResEdit
full-time fixing bugs (and then making enhancements).  A writer is
also working on a ResEdit manual.  This version of ResEdit will at least
(that's the key word here) be available through APDA when MPW 3.0 beta
is released early this summer.  ResEdit will be available in a separate
package from MPW.

The same applies to MacsBug... it has been completely rewritten, has a
new manual, will be available separately, etc.
