but this is what I meant - a good start for a port to wx. When people
have already their applications with their native resources, they
sometimes are happy if they can start and don't have to redo all the
resources at once, even with the disadvantages mentioned. I've used and
extended the rc2xml one we have once. But I do have my doubts whether
.nib imports really are in demand...

Stefan
