Converting resources from 16bit to 32bit

Question: How do I convert a 16 bit res file to a 32 bit res file? Answer: Use Borland's WYSIWYG Resource Workshop 5.0 resource editor that ships with the Borland RAD Pack to decompile the 16 bit .res file to a .rc file. Once you have a .rc file, you can close the project, set your preferances in Resource Workshop to "Win32", reload the .rc file, then save as a .res file. Note: The Resource Workshop 5.0 can compile and decompile both 16 and 32 bit resources from .rc, .res, .exe, .dll, .drv, .vbx, .cpl, .ico,. bmp, .rle, .dlg, fnt, and cur files.
