Well, here I am, still thinking about getting myself Lightspeed C (when I have
the cash and time - soon). In the meantime I've been soaking up information
about the Mac resource management.
   So: If I want to write a C program which uses resources (MENU's, PICT's
or whatever), then what support does LSC give? Is it possible to attach a
resource file to a project, so that the resources can be built and configured
as the program is being developed? I can see a scenario where I've
multi-found LSC and ResEdit, and I swap between them to paste up
resources and refer to them in the program. Is this on?
   A quick reading of IM implies that some of the resources are actually
code (such as WDEF's, which are executed to draw windows - yes?). Will LSC
hold my hand if I want to build these?

   I suppose this is a more general question about Mac software development,
but I have LSC in my sights at the moment. But any comments would be welcome.

		Nick.
