RE: jordahs resource kit,
Thanks for the offer. The problem with rtfs in Resource files is now
fixed, or at least sidestepped. It must have been something to do with
my WinMe box as I've now tried it on a win2k box and it works fine.
In the end I probably wont use the resource file as there are too many
other things that can't be included. My wish list for a Resource kit
for use with win32lib would include;
.wav files as used by playSound
.ico files as used by addIcon and setIcon
.bmp files as used by setBitmap
as well as .rtf and .txt of course.
Took a look at your base64 - seems like it does the above but are there
any instructions how to reference it in programs. e.g. how does one
extract the ico from the include file sequence so as to use it in
addIcon.
Tks
