But do they still come with MPW too? Or do we now have to buy them
separately?

A couple of suggestions for ResEdit:
1) Make ResEdit available as an MPW tool - one can always Cmd-Option-Open
it outside MPW (or use itself to change its TYPE to APPL).
3) Fully integrate ResEdit into the MPW editor. A little more ambitious
and we would lose ResEdit except as part as MPW (I guess the current ResEdit
could be frozen). I would like to just open the resource part of a file in
MPW as another window. Comments?
