Resource Conversion Utility - Overview

The Resource Conversion Utility converts Windows-specific resource files for use with AIX. This is an applications development tool used in creating cross-platform applications.

Like source files, resource files are compiled with a resource compiler. Because resource files are unique to the environment that they have been developed in, resources cannot simply be inherited by similar applications developed under different environments. To create the same application and utilize the same resources for a different platform, the format of the resource must be converted to suit the operating environment. The resource conversion utility enables resources to be ported to other platforms without having to re-create the objects for similar applications.

Note: The AIX version of IBM C and C++ Compilers can accept Windows format icons, bitmaps, and cursors without conversion.
