I have upgraded to Zinc 2.0 and have found it to be better than version 1.0.
The Windows version is still a little rough but I have been able to generate
a Win3.0 and Dos app from essentially the same source.  If you do decide to
upgrade, GET THE SOURCE.  You will be able to feature things out better
if you have the source to refer to.

As far as I can tell, Zinc 2.0 cannot use the resources generated by WRT;
however, you should be able to modify the source to allow the use of
certain resources such as bitmaps.
