-- What is Rezonator?
Rezonator is a Resource Editor for the BeBox. It is a part
of what will eventually become the Digital Resource Kit.

-- What is a BeBox
BeBox is a cool new dual processor PowerPC machine. If you wish to
know more about it, check out http://www.be.com.


-- Installing Rezonator.
To install Rezonator, copy the Rezonator10a1.tar.gz archive to your BeBox.
Open a terminal window and go to the location where you copied the
archive to. Type in the following:

gzip -dvc Rezonator10a1.tar.gz > Rezonator10a1.tar
tar xfv Rezonator10a1.tar
setfile -r

-- Using Rezonator
When you launch Rezonator, you will get a standard file open dialog
to open a file for editing. You may also drag and drop items onto
the Rezonator icon in the Browser.

Rezonator will list the resource types available in the file.
Double clicking on a resource type brings up a resource "Lister"
window. The defualt lister shows you the id, name and size of
each resource of the chosen type. You may create/add add-on listers
that display the resources differently (a list of icons for example)

Double clicking on an individual resource instance will bring up a
resource "Editor" window. The defualt editor is a hex editor (this is
based on SafeHex, another digital innovations product.) You may
create/add add-ons that are designed to provide other editing
interfaces. (A sample "APPI Editor" is a included with source code)

-- WARNING
This is a alpha product. There are a lot of things missing. I
chose to release it in the state it is in because it is quite
usable. 

WARNING:	Be sure to always work on a copy of a file and not
			the original. If Rezonator crashes while editing
			a resource file, the resources in that file may be
			damaged. The next version of Resonator will use
			temporary files to prevent this.

-- Costs and Legal Stuff

distributed so long as:
