I can't help you here.  Actor wants all the files in actor\classes.
What you can do, however, is have several "class" directories under
actor,
and rename the one for your current project to be \classes and the
others
to b e\classes1, \classes2, etc.  This is how I used to keep projects
straight.
Now, however, I've found that I just keep all files in one subdir
because
I share my classes across projects.  I agree that it would be very
useful to
have a subdir with just the Actor distribution classes, and your own
directory
for new class files. (I hope someone from WW is listening).

rc.exe is included with Actor.  The manual should be rewritten to make
it clear.  It's in actor\res\rc.exe.  E-mail me if you can't find it.
