+RES2COFF : a binary resource to COFF object format converter
+

+Second, should you reuse it, I'd really appretiate a reference to this 
+software. Blessings (if the program is useful to you), why not. Blamings,
+none.
+
+Now how to use it:
+
+res2coff [-v] -i <resource file> -o <object file>
+
+Both the resource and the object file have to be fully qualified and include
+the extension. I never assume anything about files.
+
+the -v flag will turn on a verbose mode which will show you a
+short recap of all resources found in the resource file.
+
+Revision history:
+
+v1.00 First 'working' version using Jacob Navia's lccwin32
+v1.10 Ported to the Minimalist GNUWIN32 with the win32 headers
+      from lccwin32, modified to pack system structures under GCC
+v1.20 Sorts the string tables found and now passes the tests
+      in RCL 1.6.3
+
+Enjoy
