So constructor does not save those names in its resource file, It read them
back from the header file when you open a file??
I don't think so, the header file is an output file for constructor.
Just rename or delete the header file and open resource file and you can see
that the names are still there.


I personaly thing that constructor is a pain.
1-  it is suffering from a dual platform compiler (mac and win) giving it an
odd filling in windows.
2- References to a resource (a bitmap in a form for example) should be by
name, not by number. That way you can manage (move, regroup,...) your
resources without loosing there references in the forms using them.
(Borland's Resource WorkShop work this way and it is more than 10 years old)
3- No Search and no Replace functions
4- No zoom control in bitmap editing (automatic zoomming is a joke), I use
MS Paint and paste my drawings
5-.... I thing I will stop there, but there is a lot of other possible
improvement that could be added here.

Regis Nicolas did a great job with PRCExplorer but the resources in the prc
file are number based and the arbibrary names we give them in constructor
are not in this file (witch is OK for size and performance). Maybe, if I had
the time, I could program a merger to merge the .rcp from PRCExplorer and
the header file from constructor.

Is there any third party resource editor????
