   NAME
        resource.library -- resource handling for BOOPSI classes

   DESCRIPTION
        The resource.library offers an API to handle resource objects
        (an object file created from ReActor or similar BOOPSI creator
        tools). One can create BOOPSI objects and groups of BOOPSI
        objects and resource tracking is completly done by
        resource.library.

        A resource object ist an AmigaDOS hunk object file that contains
        data structures with all necessary informations for creating BOOPSI
        objects. Special class informations allows to handle intuition
        BOOPSI objects.

        Strings are automatically localized if needed. The resource
        objects contains references to labels (for the locale string IDs)
        and strings (for the default strings) which has to be linked with
        symbol definitions from the application (a new catcomp version is
        available to create assembler source files for those definitions).

        The default label for the resource object is _RCTResource (defined
        by ReActor). Use a statement like

                extern char RCTResource[];

        to access the resource object. The variable RCTResource has to be
        used as the first argument to rl_openresource.
