    Compiling can be initiated either by opening an existing resource script file, or by creating one from scratch using Resource Hacker's editor.

Strings, between double-quote (") characters, may contain typical 'C' style backslashed 'escaped' characters — \t , \n , \\ , \" , \x, \u and \377 (octal).

(I see no benefit in duplicating what third-party image editors do so well.)
