what is the "correct" way to put a bitmap into a resource file?

[Jonathan Wilson]

I see that all the wine dlls put the bitmaps in the resource file directly...
Whats the best way to do it for a 32 bit wine dll (in this case cards.dll) 
amd where can I find a program to do it for me?

Try the tools/bin2res program. It's use is a bit unintuitive,
but essentially you need to add some markers (in comments)
in the .rc file.

Look for an example in:
	./programs/winecfg/winecfg.rc
search for BINRES.

Out of interest, how do you go about writing GUIs using that stuff? I'm
thinking of winecfg here, I can't see any gui definitions in the code,
they seem to be loaded from dialog templates. Are there any free editors
available?

I don't know about free editors, but most people use the ones that come
with MSVC, or Borland, etc. I use vim :)
