Something's fishy here. Our .rc files should be usable in both environments without change.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tools/rc_ 490l.asp says that \ is a simple line-continuation character. Thus \ at the end of a line in the .rc file should not insert a newline in the resource, I think. And it looks like our resource compiler is violating this.

After squinting at our source, I came up with a one-line patch to fix our resource compiler (attached). If that looks good, I can do a patch that fixes up all our .rc files that expected backslash to behave in a nonstandard way.
Right. I can't find reference in the documentation on Borland's way of handling this, and in any case BC5 is long obsolete. Patching Wine's resource compiler to work the way Win32 developers would expect looks like the Right Thing.
