Here's a puzzler.  I have a program that loads a resource from itself,
It it can't find one, it asks you if you want to load it from an external
file.  If so it gives a standard box to pick a file.  On a reply.good,
it tries to open the file with OpenResourceFile() ( I believe that's the
call I may have mistyped it here), sending in the filename from the
standard file routine.  It fails and returns fnfErr (file not found) no
matter what.

So what's the deal?  How do I get a resource file opened from a name
selected from a standard file dialog?
