Ged, you misunderstood my rhetorical question :) , I was not asking the
literal difference between both , of course are different! I was asking it
from a conceptual point of view.

I don't , there is a huge difference!
source.c is a single file which is compiled as a unit.
en-US.rc is part of the top level resource file and is not built as a 
single unit, but is included as part of the top level resource file.
Hence, we only need the top level resource as part of the project, 
including seperate lanuage files leads you to think they are built as a 
seperate file, in which case it will conflict with including it in the 
top level file.

If you look at any VS project, you will not see en-EN.rc as a project 
file in the same way you won't see windef.h as part of the project.

Ged.
