Rez & Derez for Linux

[BurntNickel]

Before I go too crazy, does anyone know if there is a version of rez and derez available for Linux? Preferably something that works out of the box, but I'm not against porting over reimplementing myself.

I think Retro68 bundles one

Indeed it does! Thank you!

maybe also check opensource.apple.com, but I doubt they released it

I stared there, but I didn't see it. I'll probably look a bit more. If I find it I'll post here.

It's probably not Open Source then..

I think you're stuck with whatever retro68 has or running the original MPW tools through one of the MPW emulators out there (though I don't know how well they work in practice)

I think an mpw emulator works great, but I haven't tried it in Linux.

It's slower, but usable. This example is a large resource fork:
