You stole my example! :-) I was just about to mention Watcom's
resource compiler. If it works for Win32, Win16 and OS/2, how can it
not be cross-platform?  Or do you mean not cross-platform, because a
.res file compiled under OS/2 cannot be used as-is under Win32?  If
the latter, would that really be an issue for FPC with a slogan like
"write once, compile everywhere". As long as the application is
compiled on the platform it needs to run on, the resource will be
correct.  This excludes cross-compiling, no idea how that works.
