Need help in converting 16-bit RES to 32-bit

Hi y'all
Question: I'm wanting to convert my existing 16-bit applicaction to
32-bit and am having some problems in the process of converting it. One
of
them is 16-bit res not supported. Is there a utility for converting
16-bit res
files to 32-bit?

Secondly, Delphi3 doesn't seem to regconize some local variables.

Please respond to luj...@us.ibm.com
Thanks for the help

A tool such as Resource Workshop can convert the resource into an RC file and
then recompile that back into a 32-bit resource. I do not believe that any of
the tools that come with Delphi can do this -- even though the copy that I
have which does this just fine came with Turbo C++.

(It continues to baffle me why Borland ships a flagship product, Delphi,
without some of the basic programmer-tools that were shipped with an $80
mini-compiler a couple of years ago.)

To convert the .RES files, simply open it with the 32bit Image Editor and
then save it.. It's that simple... For the program, delete the .DCU's and
recompile...
