“To keep the data of an application separate from its code, making the data easier to modify and easier to share among applications, the [Macintosh User Interface] Toolbox includes the Resource Manager. The Resource Manager lets you, for example, store menus separetly from your code so that they can be edited or translated without requiring recompilation of the code. It also allows you to get standard data, such as the I-beam pointer for inserting text, from a shared system file. When you call other parts of the Toolbox that need access to the data, they call the Resource Manager. Although most applications never need to call the Resource Manager directly, an understanding of the concepts behind it is essential because they’re basic to so many other operations.” —Inside Macintosh, Volume I, page I-9b4b
