ResBuilder: Converting Resource File Formats (Superseded)
ResBuilder has been superseded by the FormBuilder module in the BASIS IDE for BBj. ResBuilder is no longer included in the BBj download package as of version 12.0 but can be downloaded with Visual PRO/5.
Syntax
resbuilder binary_file ASCII_file
Description
ResBuilder allows loading and saving a resource file in ASCII format. ResBuilder can also be used to automatically convert binary resource files (.brc) into ACSII resource files (.arc) by providing the input .brc file and output .arc file on the command line.
ResBuilder accepts wildcard characters when used as a conversion utility. The following table provides examples of how to use wildcards:
|
Examples |

|

|
resbuild *.brc *.brc |

NOTE: ResBuild can convert brc to arc files distributed with Visual PRO/5.
