That out of the way, here's how to use Resource Exporter...

	Resource Exporter is based on the Resource Explorer
demo project of Delphi 3.0. However, it adds some important
& fun new functionality!

	First, you can now dump *all* of the resources in an
executable AT ONCE! (File|Dump all resources).

	Second, when dumping all of the resources, you can 
control the format the resources are saved to! Icons may be 
saved as:
		1) ICO
		2) BMP
		3) GIF

	Likewise, Bitmaps may be saved as:
		
		1) BMP
		2) GIF

	(To set your file format preferences, go to View|Dump All Options.)

	What happens when you dump all of the resources?

	1) a directory is created off of the Resource Exporter directory.
	2) subdirectories representing the differenct resource types are
		then created off of the first directory.
	3) The resources are then exported (into the proper directories)
		according to your preferences.
		Note: String tables are saved with a .TXT extension,
			other types are saved with a mnemonic 3 letter
			extension (e.g., "RCData" = ".RCD")
	4) That's it! Enjoy!
