No, but I don't think that's the point. OK, I had to actually
look ain the index and READ how to get resource files into
your project short of pasting the resources into the project
file, but the point here is that if you have specified a
resource file, and it can't be opened, the environment should
warn you and give you a chance to bail out.

After all, "File not found" and "File busy" are different
error conditions both on the IBM PC, under UNIX, and on the
Mac 8)

Happy Hacking !
