Problems converting my 16 bit resource file.

[MichaelMo]

I'm having difficulty trying to run the rc2dll32.bat file to convert my resource file of my screen shots to 32 bits. The original DLL file was created in Borland's Resource Workshop. I was able to use Resource Workshop to export the 16 bit screens to an RC format, but when I run the rc2dll32.bat file I get the following error message:

Borland Resource Compiler Version 5.40

c:\FWH\dll>c:\bcc55\bin\ilink32 /Tpd c:\bcc55\lib\c0d32.obj screen32.obj, michae(cut off)

Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland
Fatal: Access violation. Link terminated.
Warning: Unable to perform incremental link - performing full link...
Fatal: Access violation. Link terminated.

There is an output file that is only about 43K, much smaller than the original dll file.

Does anyone have any clue on what I should be looking for in my 16 bit screen shots that might be resulting this sort of error message? I'm also curious what others might recommend as a resource editor in 32 bits?

Michael,

Are your used bitmaps embedded inside the RC file ? Please check it.

In case they are, please keep them as external files and include them this way:

Open BITMAP "Open.bmp"

Yes, I do have some legacy bitmaps. I can remove and recreate them if necessary. I'll try that and let you know how it goes.
