{$R *.res} in ONLY allowed for the project file.
You should never try to link in a * resource in a unit, because the *
resolves to the main project name.
Same as in Delphi.
If you need a resource in a unit, resolve the full name, like {$R
myunit1.res}
The main *.res is available over all units in a project.
