I need a clarification or a documentation for the RSC file format, and please don't tell me to "have a look to rscomp".
I'm very simple-in file format- and I want it in that simple.

Thankful and estimated for you help.

I don't think that the .rsc file format is documented anywhere, because in the normal build process for Symbian applications, nobody does something directly with a .rsc file, except let the resource compiler do its work and produce them.

Why are you interested in that file format, then?

I'm planning to make a resource editor, the goal for that editor it's to allow users to localize their apps at runtime easily.

Ah, I see. Something like this, then:

I think the way to do such a program is by reverse-engineering the .rsc format... time-consuming, complicated, messy, and in the next version of Symbian the format may change, and one has to play catch-up.
