What is it you want then?  The only connection between dmd and Windows 
resource files is that you can compile one with rcc and link it into 
your exe with dmd.

RCC is stuck a few steps behind current Windows standards.  Namely, it 
does not support large, PNG-compressed Vista icons.  I filed a bug for 
it a while back. Maybe that's the kind of info you were looking for?

digital mars RCC.exe is compatible with microsoft rcc? This RC file 
doesn't compile with digital mars, but compil with MinGW or VS.

#include <windows.h>
2 24 "rename.exe.manifest"
// include for version info constants


1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 0,1,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 0,1,0,0
FILETYPE VFT_APP
{
	BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
	{
		BLOCK "040C04E4"
		{
			VALUE "CompanyName", "cie"
			VALUE "FileVersion", "1"
			VALUE "FileDescription", "blabla"
			VALUE "InternalName", "blabla"
			VALUE "LegalCopyright", "blabla"
			VALUE "LegalTrademarks", "blabla"
			VALUE "OriginalFilename", "blabla"
			VALUE "ProductName", "blabla"
			VALUE "ProductVersion", "blabla"
		}
	}
	BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
	{
		VALUE "Translation", 0x040C, 1252
	}
}

What's the problem?

I don't know. Perhaps RCC requires "BEGIN" and "END" instead of "{" and "}".

I use rc.exe (Microsoft Resource Compiler). It comes bundled in every VS6
product CD (VB6, VC++6, etc). If you have purchased a VS product in the past
then explore the CD and you'll find this utility under tools or common (i don't
remember).

MS RC doesn't have problems at all with big pngs and works perfect with the
digital mars linker.

Ooh, didn't know that.  Thanks for the tip!

rc.exe probably comes with every version of Visual Studio, including the 
free MS VC Express Toolkit, since you can't make a real Windows app 
without a resource compiler.

I just didn't expect it would work with DMD's linker.  That's good news!
