Resource Compiler - An Overview

The Resource Compiler (irc) is an application-development tool that lets you add application resources such as message strings, pointers, and menus to the executable file of your application.

The Resource Compiler lets you quickly define or modify application resources without recompiling the application itself. This is especially important for international applications because it lets you define all language-dependent data, such as message strings, as resources. Preparing the application for a new language is simply a matter of relinking the new resources to an existing executable file.
