Hi Doug
Thanks for your work - I'm happy for any suggestion...

But if what you are saying is correct, one will never know what stringtable (= language) will be chosen on a user's machine...? Or am I mis-enterpretating you? You'll never know if a user's PC is running OSR2 or not?

Right now I'm using the multi-language stringtable while developing, since I can then do both languages at the same time. Then I make a copy of the .RES-file, delete one of the tables, and compile....! And then I add the original .RES-file again for on-going development.

But I feel foolish doing it that way!.... :-)

Thanks again!
Jens
