Are others more flexible? You are welcome Steve. Unfortunately I don't have an account on GEnie I cannot afford it 8*( I think there is no resource editor combining *.RSC files...I am also using Mark Williams' and I've worked with RCP (comes with Laser C), RCS (from Digital Research), and MKRSC (posted to the net). None of them let you merge *.RSC files. But why should someone combine 2 *.RSC files in 1? I don't see any reason for doing something like that. (I may be wrong) Perhaps you misunderstood(?) my explanation of mixing large & small icons in the _same_ RSC file. I said one can put large & small icons in the same tree (e.g. FORM2 or FORM3) in the file GEMINIIC.RSC (so, it is just one resource file). If I remember well, I also said that I don't think it would be such a good idea. It would result in having both large & small icons in the same window. I haven't tried it though. BTW, are there people still using NeoDesk? 8*) > ---- > Steve Yelvington, Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, USA / steve@thelake.mn.org =============================================================================== Harry Karayiannis Post: || |# || 15 N.Beacon, #316 |#| ||#| |#| Boston University Allston, MA 02134 |#| ||#| |#| Computer Science Dpt.
