I just ran into the problem which exists when you edit a resource file
from the PB IDE. I capitalizes some keywords (like include) which cause
problems for the rc compiler.
Using the IDE seems perfectly natural, especially since it's options
include specs required for compiling a resource. The current work-around
is to turn off keyword capitalization.
PB is able to compile files with any type suffix, though certain types
probably are used to determine which compiler to use. So lets free up the
suffixes and take advantage of them when we need them.
I suggest:
1. Stop forcing .BAS on the end of my file names, especially if I already
have a type extension on the file name.
2. Change our preference options, such as capitalization, to be maintained
seperately for each file type. Then we can set capitalization on for .BAS,
but off for .rc.
