I have an executable file, say 'MyApp.exe', that contains English
resources. I translated the 'MyApp.rc' file into German and used
'rc.exe' to generate the 'MyApp.res' file (from a commandline). Now I
want to use the linker to merge these newly compiled resources into the
existing 'MyApp.exe' (i.e. replace English by German resources). Of
course this works fine on using Visual Studio 6.0. However, I want to do
this on a commanline (or batch file). What are the argumets of
'link.exe' in order to get this goal ? Does anybody have an example ?

Hi,
You cannot use the linker to do this, unless you have all your OBJ files.
You used to be able to do this stuff with the Resource Editor way back in
the days of Win3.1, but I can't find any info on this in the Win32 stuff.
They mention something called RLMAN in the compiler documentation, but I
can't find it. Hope any of this helps.
