Shared .mres file between modules - Naming problem
#61

  I am trying to create a set of modules all having the same interface
(control panel, input and output ports), each generating some data set based
on some specified behavior.
  I wrote a variant of the Imakefile/Makefile that mbuilder generates that
creates a new module (say M), install the code in /usr/local/explorer/modules,
and creates M.credits, M.help, M.mres as soft links to 3 files common to all
the modules.
  Unfortunatly, the name of the module seems to be stored in the resource file
and I am unable to load any of my modules.  If I rename one module to the
base name of the 3 common files, I can start the module in explorer.
  I looked at the content of my resource files and found several places where
the module name is stored.  I am willing to create separate instances of the
resource file but want to automate that so that there is no need for the user
to use mbuilder.

  So:
  1) Is there a way to share resources between modules?
  2) If not, what is the structure of a resource file, or what should I
change in it to accommodate the new module name?

  Thanks. Jerome
