- Are you confused of building menus for your Turbo-Vision program
- or find it hard to use Strings from resources. Under windows it
- does give resource-designers for that for TV not so much yet.
- With my tools RESC.EXE and RESLINK.EXE you'll be able to use
- Resource-Script also for your MENU and STRINGTABLE's also under
- DOS for TV-programms. Instead of writing a complex
- NewMenu(,,nil,nil))))) structure down you can easy write it down
- as a menu-script (the file BPMENU.RC is an example for that)
- and compile it with RESC to a Resource-File. The Resource is
- easier to use for you and saves also place in the EXE File.
-
- The script language can be compared to MS's RC.EXE syntax.
- So if you familar with my syntax it would be easy for you
- to convert your script to windows. The other direction
- it would be the same.
-
- Another resource type currently supported are a 'StringTable'
- this is stored under the same name in the Resource and holds
- all strings. I've used this method because under Windows it's
- not possible to use more than one stringtable in a program.
- If you design your TV program with in that manner it's easier
- to go later to Windows-platform with your programs.
-
- In future I plan to develop further Resource Type likes
- VERSIONINFO and DIALOG. To use you favortie Resource-Desingers
- together with this compiler you can use RESLINK in you makescript
- to building the final resourcefile from several smaller ones.

- If you have some additional questions or suggestions about the program
- you can reach me under following addresses ( I prefer E-Mail ):
