Meaby it was just my fault, but I don't use it anymore for that reason.Exescope is very useful since it edits NE files as well.Restorator is good for me since it allows do do large copy paste operations. However the interface feels not very intuitive to me.I can say Restorator is since 2005 version more useful than ResHacker.
July 15, 200620 yr I have found MiTeC Delphi Form Editor 5.3 to be most usefull for editing resources of some delphi apps.http://www.mitec.cz/delphitools.htm#DFMEditVBReformer allows to do a few things with VB executables.http://www.decompiler-vb.tk/ResEd is a very good resource editor for resource files (not directly for exe)http://www.radasm.com/projects/ResEd.zipMost of what that do exist is listed here I thinkhttp://programmerstools.org/taxonomy/term/50

August 14, 200620 yr eXeScopeDownload version 6.41 (English help file)Download version 6.50 (Japanese help file)Shareware, $20 after 14 days evaluation period.It supports both PE and NE files.My favourite one for NE files.I registered the version of eXeScope I have on my machines [6.41]. The Shareware version also can not allow more than 1 edit (or change) of a file. The full registered version, on the other hand, can.
