Instead of following the Sutherlands' directions to install NovaTools (paste its resources into ResEdit prefs file), I tried this:
The result is that I've now got 2 copies of ResEdit, one with all the NovaTools goodness and one that I can use (with templates) to do other things, such as edit EV and EV Override plugs. There's no bloated prefs file bulking up my System Folder when I do backups.
It all seems to work, so far, and it's very convenient....
Am I asking for a system crash or data corruption? Am I courting some other unnamable disaster? Why might the w00tware folks prefer their method? These are the questions. Thank you for pondering.

Nope, due to the workings of the Macintosh Resource Manager this is a perfectly valid way to do it. I'll spare you from a technical explanation unless you so desire The official method is to use the Prefs file because one bad keystroke or click while the app itself is open could render the thing useless and possibly crash your system. Thats why ResEdit warns you about editing itself.

OK. Thanks! I'm porting Capt. Skyblade's "Cold Fusion" graphic upgrade plug from EVO to the EVN Nova port, and being able to switch back and forth between ResEdit with and without NovaTools will make things much less frustrating.
