Converting 16bit resource to 32bit.
Question:
How can I convert a 16-bit resource file to a 32 bit resource
file?
Answer:
If you have the original source file (.rc) then you can simply
recompile the .rc file to a .res file using the Borland Resource
Command Line Compiler (brcc32.exe) located in the
Delphi/C++ Builders bin directory. If you only have a .res file
to work with, you will need to use a quality resource
compiler/decompiler such as Borland's Resource Workshop.
Versions of the Borland's Resource Workshop later than 4.5
can extract, compile, and decompile both 16 and 32 bit
resource files from a variety of sources including .res, .exe,
.dll, drv, and .cpl files. The Borland Resource Workshop
version 4.5 ship with the Borland RAD Pack product line.
