Resource Scripts

Script files used by the Resource Compiler that is supplied by the IBM OS/2 Developer's Toolkit and is also supplied by a number of third party toolkits. These scripts are usually generated by some sort of program such as UI generators or resource editors, but it is also possible to create them by hand. Since these date back to OS/2 1.0 they support both syntax that is a bit Pascal like and a variation that is a bit C like like the OS/2 2.x API, Microsoft Windows uses a very similar resource scripts but they have started to diverge a bit through the years.
