No benefits ?! It's a major nuisance to always think of moving those
f&*%ing resource-files around together with the programs. Separate
resource files are also a violation of GEM's idea of (well, kind of)
'object oriented-ness'. It's, for instance, not possible to open files
of a given type with some (application-) program if the resource file
for that program happens to reside in any other but the current
directory.

BTW., is anybody of Mark Williams Corp. listening ? I never got an 
acknowledgement for the MWC customer registration card I sent to Mark 
Williams.
