Description (last modified by Steven Levine)

We are still using the IBM rc.exe because the OpenWatcom v1.6 wrc.exe is broken. It fails to copy the resident names table and the iterated pages. It also fails to generate usable .res files.

as of 9/29 wrc.exe no longer destroys the bldlevel info, but it still does not generate working .res files with

wrc -r -zm -idll fm3res.rc

or with

wrc -r -idll fm3res.rc

This applies to bth wrc 1.7 and 1.8a.

The -zm allows for debugging the issue using Martin Lafaix's rdc.cmd (or a modified version)
