Alex:
   RCDATA is user defined data so there is not any way that win32eru
   would know how the user is going to use it. It is normally up to
   RCDATA use to be processed by the user.

  If you see something like this in the include file you can do this:

 

atom mIDR_ABOUT1 mIDR_ABOUT1 = allocate(560) poke(mIDR_ABOUT1, ucs(......................

to print it, do this. printf(1,peek({mIDR_ABOUT1,560}),{})

Alex:

   The definition in a RES file for RCDATA is user data.

   There is no entry in the format of a RES file that indicates
     what is contained in that RCDATA entry so when I parse the
     RES file I have to assume it is a bunch of ramdom bytes;
     which most users will probably want poked into memory.

   The reason the user knows what it is because they wrote the
     RC file that was used create the RES file.

   Remember any user can always just edit the include file to
     if they have a special requirement.
