-
- RESMGR is a collection of tools which allows you to manipulate
- resources. That is, you can add, remove or extract resources from a
- binary resource file as well as from an executable file.
-
- Enjoy!
-
- Release Notes
- =============
-
- o RESMGR has been tested with OS/2 Warp v3.0, but it is
- expected to work with OS/2 v2.0 or higher.
-
- o Online help is included in RDC.INF.
-
- o See RESMGR.ABS for a description of all included files.
-
-
- Product Description
- ===================
-
- The RESMGR package contains two parts: a Resource Decompiler and
- a Resource Manager.
-
- The Resource Decompiler can extract resources from an executable
- file (1.x format and 2.x format, Warp packed resources
- included). It can also "decompile" binary resource files. That
- is, it can translate a .RES file into a corresponding .RC file.
-
- The Resource Manager allows you to operate at a higher level <g>
- With it, you can view binary resource files (as well as
- executable) as resource container. That is, you can view their
- contents, and add or remove resources to/from them.
-
- It's not a "Resource Editor for the dummies" because it does not
- yet offers a PM front end nor does it hides you the resource
- script files mysteries.
-
-
- Installation:
- =============
-
- 1. Unpack this package.
-
- 2. Copy all .EXE and .CMD somewhere along your PATH.
-
- 3. Copy RDC.INF somewhere along your BOOKSHELF.
-
- [3.bis If you're using the OS/2 Developer's toolkit, I highly
- recommend you to add or edit the following line in your
- CONFIG.SYS:
-
- SET TOOLSREF=TOOLINFO.INF+RDC.INF
-
- and to adjust the parameter line of the "Tools References"
- icon in the "Toolkit Information" folder.]
-
- You're done!
-
-
- Miscellaneous:
- ==============
-
- Source code for RDC.INF and RDCPP.EXE is included in SOURCE.ZIP
- (which is part of the RESMGR package).
-
- And, yes, it's free :-)
-
-
- Common troubles:
- ================
-
- RC.EXE and RCPP.EXE must have been installed in your system if
- you want to be able to add or remove resources from an
- executable file.
-
- In the same flavor, REXX support should be enabled.
-
- RDC does not decompile Dialog resources from a .RES file. Use
- DLGEDIT.EXE instead (the Dialog Editor is included in the OS/2
- Developer's toolkit).
-
-
- Original FILE_ID.DIZ:
- =====================
-
- RESMGR is a resource decompiler/manager. It
- can view/add/replace/remove resources from
- either a .EXE, a .DLL or a .RES file. It can
- also decompile these resources into a .RC
- script. Resources can be extracted from OS/2
- 1.x or OS/2 2.x files (Warp included).
- [FREEWARE, w/ source code. 960217 release.]
