let's say, not entirely hypothetically, that we have a ResEdit TMPL. We want to convert it to an MPW Rez types file, so we can DeRez resources instead of mess with the GUI editor. Anyone got a tool handy for this?

@atax1a @joe Isn't this what DeRez(1) does? Or did I misinterpret your starting point?

@jrose @joe DeRez does that, but only for system types. TMPLs are a ResEdit mechanism to describe other types, but you can't DeRez a TMPL into a .r file. DeRes wants a .r file, not a TMPL.

@atax1a @joe I see, you need a TMPL.r to feed in as a meta-TMPL or something. Thanks for explaining, hope someone can help.

@jrose @joe right, ResEdit is to TMPL as DeRez is to .r but there isn't a handy-dandy converter. rip/dip
