People have asked long in the past, but I'm having trouble getting
this together.

        I've taken to using CodeWarrior (R6 and now R8) for some
projects. It uses Constructor for resource and GUI building and all that,
and stores the files in .rsrc files (under Windows, anyway, and I'm using
Windows under vmware in Unix :)

        I'm assuming I need to DeRez the rsrc file to get an .r file, but
each time I do so I get a bunch of binary data chunks, rather than useful
editable resource files. Rez can put them back together okay, though. (I
found the Quicktime SDK which includes Rez and DeRez for Windows, and
generates QTR files.. same format as any other resource file in Mac land?
Or need I general purpose Rez and DeRez?)

        What steps need I perform to be able to DeRez a file, hack it up
with a text editor, and Rez it up again? I'm using Windows (or Unix) in
this case, though I can lay my hands on a Mac if needed. 

        My goal is to Derez, edit and clean up the file (maybe massage
with perl scripts, or modify for alternate language support, etc) and Rez
back into a useful resource file that is good with Constructor and Code
Warrior..
