Using resource compiler for message tables

Hi!

I tried to use the resource compiler "brcc32" that comes with Delphi 5 
and Delphi 2006 (both seem to be the same version) to compile a .rc file 
which contains a message table. The compiler produced a .res file and I 
included it in my res-only DLL project but I can't use it to view event 
log messages and I also can't open the .res or .dll file using ResHacker 
or XN Resource Editor.

What I'd like to do is to create a message catalog for Windows event log 
messages without the need to use a third-party GUI resource editor. 
Something similar to this Blog entry:
http://texhex.blogspot.com/2004/09/creating-event-message-file-for-event.html

Is this possible? What is the problem with the .res file generated by 
Delphi resource compiler?

My .rc file looks like this:

1 MESSAGETABLE
{
    0,   "%1"
    1,  	"Hello world:\n%1"
    2,  	"Another hello:\n%1"
...
    24,  "Still hello:\n%1"
}

Kind regards,
Tobias
