I know about rcc.exe, that page doesn't help me at all.
What is it you want then? The only connection between dmd and Windows
resource files is that you can compile one with rcc and link it into
your exe with dmd.
RCC is stuck a few steps behind current Windows standards. Namely, it
does not support large, PNG-compressed Vista icons. I filed a bug for
it a while back. Maybe that's the kind of info you were looking for?

digital mars RCC.exe is compatible with microsoft rcc? This RC file
doesn't compile with digital mars, but compil with MinGW or VS.
#include <windows.h>
2 24 "rename.exe.manifest"
// include for version info constants
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 0,1,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 0,1,0,0
FILETYPE VFT_APP

What's the problem?

I use rc.exe (Microsoft Resource Compiler). It comes bundled in every VS6
product CD (VB6, VC++6, etc). If you have purchased a VS product in the past
then explore the CD and you'll find this utility under tools or common (i don't
remember).
MS RC doesn't have problems at all with big pngs and works perfect with the
digital mars linker.

Ooh, didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!
rc.exe probably comes with every version of Visual Studio, including the
free MS VC Express Toolkit, since you can't make a real Windows app
without a resource compiler.
I just didn't expect it would work with DMD's linker. That's good news!

Reply to torhu,
I'm looking for info how to create resource files for use with dmd.
Do they use the same format as Microsoft's files? Any good doc links?
