For the interested I checked in some example resource definition files for StyledEdit. (*.rdef in the StyledEdit dir) I used these with beres to generate the resource for StyledEdit. Reading through them will highlight the problems with the format. Mostly I don't have a problem with it but the restriction for length is annoying. (this only comes up with setversion) I would recommend we just use a jam SetVersion rule except that it doesn't seem very nice to have to change the jamfile to update the version. Also I split it into three rdefs, one for general app info, one for icons, and one for version info. I did this because the icons are ugly in rdef format. (well not that bad really :-) ) And although the application information in general should remain static, the version may change frequently.
