Basic Hex Dump - you can normally easily see the resource structure and the
included resource names.
D4.03 C/S
When I ran the resource explorer on the exe is showed your bitmaps under the
bitmap resource and the Icon I loaded under the Icon resource - Name
MAINICON - 32 * 32.
Yep had to re-compile the resource explorer with range checking turned off
on the compile options - then could look at the exe data/resources okay.
