DLG Files produced by DLGBOX Editor

I've been wanting to know if there is a direct use for the files produced by the
Dialog box editor?

I can use the RC files directly, and the H File, but to use the DLG file I 
always seem to just have to take portions out of it and create a RC file.

Is there a way I can just include the DLG File in an RC file?  Or does it's only
purpose be to show you how to set up an RC file?

Wim.

The purpouse of the .DLG file is to be included in a .RC file. You do that with
a statement like
  RCINCLUDE FOO.DLG
in your .RC file. (I usually put it at the end).

You have to do either an RCINCLUDE or a DLGINCLUDE (I can't remember
which).  Personally, I would just copy the .DLG file to a .RC file (which
is exactly what I do) and use that instead.
