SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
To run MacResourcer you'll need OS2.0 or higher !!!


QUICK OVERVIEW
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you or one of your friends own a Macintosh®, you might know that nearly
all data for programms are stored in a special format, called "resource".
This structured file can be seen as a containership (resourcefile) with
different containers (resource types, e.g. "snd "). Each of this containers
holds some objects (the real data, e.g. the sounddata).
With MacResourcer you can play and extract two common sound resourcetypes
used: "snd " mono and stereo, 8 and 16 bit (compressed sounds not supported)
and "SOUN". The programm also accepts other resource types and lets you
save their rawdata.


HISTORY
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1.1
     o removed a bug that caused a runtime error for some resource files

     o now parses the "snd " resource correctly, both format 1 and 2
       (with standard sound header, extended sound header or
        compressed sound header)

     o playback now stereo if possible and mono sound now from left and right
       speaker
       
     o eliminated problems with sounds >130K (tested with a sound of 2MB)
        
     o save correct iff files (also stereo)

     o removed support for saving raw sound files

     o many new options, especially to make it easy to extract great number
       of resources in one pass
