Is the source code missing for Resource.dll? As weird as it sounds, Resource.dll is it's own source code. It only contains Windows resources, no actual compiled code. You can verify this using objdump. It isn't text, but it is source code, just like a PNG image. Think of it as a SNG vs PNG, one is text, but both convey exactly the same information. To modify it, use a resource editor or convert it to text and .ico files with windres and then convert it back to a DLL with windres again. I've been meaning to move Resource.dll to a text file and some icons, with rebuilding to a DLL at compile time, but never got around to it. I'll work on this over the weekend and commit stuff upstream. Upstream has already done the same for Contrib/UIs - that folder used to be just plain exe files with some resources in them (like Resource.dll). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
