The resource files are all the exact same format.  However, if you load
a RSC file into the editor without the extra info files, you will have
to add in all the names and types of dialog boxes yourself.  Then when
saving it, it will create a new file.  (the info file is .DEF for
Megamax Resource construction set and .DFN for the developer's kit).
It makes it awkward to switch from one to the other, but at least you
don't have to start from scratch.

Back to the topic at hand...  Has Megamax changed the 32K code limit
yet???  My program is pushing that limit (31986 or something), and I
have lost any desire to add new features, so I don't go over the edge.
