Re: resource files -- You don't actually need to put all your translated
texts into separate *.rc source files John. Sometimes it's easier from a
maintenance point of view to keep them in the same source file, but compile
it differently to generate just, say, a compiled *.res file for French, or
German, etc. There are ways to do this quite easily.

Also, error-message texts really belong in a separate, more specialised *.mc
source file, although they would eventually get compiled into the same *.res
file. Just as *.rc files get compiled by the rc resource compiled, *.mc
source files get compiled by the mc message compiler. If you use a lot of
private error codes, or event logging, this is important.

Does the following link help at all, or suggest any possibilities to you?
