Windows 3.1 VxD Version Resource

[Mark W. Stroberg]

Hi All:
I have been developing a VxD for Windows 3.1 using the tools provided in
the Windows 3.1 DDK. I have gotten it to do what I wish it to do. However, I
still have a problem. I wish to add a version resource to the VxD, but
link386.exe seems to ignore all efforts I make toward adding the .res file
to the final product. Is there a way to tell link386.exe to include
resources in the Vxd? And if not, are there any tools out there which can do
this?
Forgive me for bringing up the topic of such an old operating system, but
it's a hobby of mine.
TIA

It's been many, many years, but I seem to recall there being a utility named
adrc2vxd that puts resources into VxDs; a Google search should turn up
something.

Jeff:
Thanks. I was able to find adrc2vxd.exe on Windows 95 DDK disk. It worked
great. Thanks again.
