They handle PE files in code and parse/assemble resources internally. 
WinNT/2K/XP has BeginUpdateResource/EndUpdateResource/UpdateResource 
functions, but Win9x doesn't. IIRC Madshi had some implementation of 
these functions which work on both Win9x and NT-based OS. Sorry, I don't 
remember the URL.
