Hi! Good feedback so far. Given recent... conflicts, I wanted to ask first, just to be sure.

Particularly the really difficult types are already implemented. I would attempt to implement all remaining RT_x types, including those that are not commonly used in cross-platform targets. Things like DIALOG or MENU have a custom format in their RawData, but that should be fairly straightforward, basically doing the same as the ACCELERATOR resource and tutorial. -- Regards, Martok _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
