So is that the technical issue with cross-platform resource compilers? The endian handling? Or is there some other technical issue? I remember even Kylix didn't have a resource compiler and couldn't understand why. After all, most C/C++ compilers are cross platform and they seem to have resource compilers, so what is wrong with Object Pascal compilers... Sorry if this is dumb, but I obviously don't understand the full issue here...
