The Compilationist Manifesto
I had one more mix inside me, so I had to let it out.

Please join the little eye and I as we say,
Friendly frequenters of this place probably noticed my recent call for outdated application assistance. That plea for help from persons with programing prowess was my last ditch effort to bring my pixel pushing capabilities in line with the current Mac operating system. Before I'd even posted my plea I was advised that the specifics for which I was asking were likely impossible. But even though my hopes for success were rather low I figured I had nothing to lose. And it was probably that frame of mind which caused me to scour the web just once more for some sign of pre-existing software salvation. Baby, am I ever glad that I did! I don't know how I'd managed to miss it so many times before, but a few days ago I stumbled upon Rezilla. As far as I can determine - in my current state of jubilation - only the lack of tear-off color palettes separates Rezilla from ResEdit n the area of bitmap editing. Hot dog! To use a phrase I picked up from Jon: Rezilla is full of win!
Of course I realize that this bit of information, while being bitmappy slap happy news to yours truly, is probably as dull as dishwater to the majority of those kind folks who visit this humble locale. But I state with complete sincerity that had I not found Rezilla (seeing as how the chances of a programmer mutating an old app for me were either slim or none) it would not have been long before pixels would have no longer been a medium in which I work. I for one am greatly relieved.
