I have WRT that came with my BC++ upgrade. While lacking a few features, it
is still pretty nice for building .RES files. A lot better than making a .RC
file by hand. The dialog editor is pretty nice too.

I don't have any problems with it. I have 8Meg physical memory, and 24Meg
virtual memory free. It is a little slow coming up, and launching editors, but
not terribly so. Once up, performance is acceptable.

Perhaps you are running out of system resources? I have heard that this will
cause an "Out of Memory" error, even if virtual memory is still available.

Maybe you have tons of groups and icons in progman, this supposedly is a
notorious resource user.

Look at your setup before condeming a program.
