... which brings me back around to my original point :
It would be nice if the GUI resource editing tool worked
with a text-based resource "source" file (such as the ones
used by Rez) rather than the proprietary binary glob. Especially
for those of us mired in the Wintel world who don't even have
DeRez ... but even for those who -do- have DeRez, the process
of obtaining a text version to edit, changing it, then putting
it back into a for that the GUI tool can handle is far from
integrated.
