RezEdit is the utility and
API you need to distribute large executables with embedded
graphics, sound, and data in a small, compact format. It is
an invaluable tool for application programmers who need a
good API and supporting editor to manager their product
resources. Automatic resource compression, quick folder
packing, and a solid API give the application programmer
more power to write professional applications quickly.
You get the complete system which includes RezEdit,
RezPack, and the rpxtools library and C Header File for use in
Visual Studio 6.0 or later.
What can you do with RezEdit?
Much like the popular ResEdit (Apple Computer) in name, RezEdit
PC by Repix Inc. is a complete application resource environment which allows
a developer to ship single file executables with compressed resources of any
type.
RezEdit retail version comes with a tools import library and
header file which allows customers to access the many resource manipulation
functions, allow them to extract, compress, or load on-the-fly files
embedded within the application itself, but which reside after extraction in
the windows directory.
The core of the software programming interface is
the rpxtoolslib.lib and RpxTools.h header file. This API allows
an application developer to access the compressed resource data
in their application, to add, modify, or delete it.
Resource files are represented by the .rpx
extension in this package. It is a private resource file that
cannot be extracted by ZIP, or Windows XP's integrated
compressor. To compress a folder or file for use within any
application, just DRAG-AND-DROP the folder or file onto the
RezPack shortcut (see picture on right).
Shown below, double-clicking on any .rpx resource
file automatically launches RezEdit. You can edit your resources
if needed, or simply see the contents of your resource file.
When compressing a folder for internal
decompressing on-the-fly, as part of a single executable, you
select the RezPack option "Exclude File Path In Resource Name".
This tells RezPack to not include the file path (as not shown
below) in the resource name. The resource ID is always a 0-4
character code, or the file extension if RezPack is used.
