Bold
elements are required, italics identify variable parts,
plain is for optional.
R.H. can be
launched with a script file containing all the operations to be performed on
one given DLL. The script that is listed below is in the file “c:\mapinfo\topics\icons\script01.txt”
(the path is fictitious). The run command will be in this case:
RESHACKER.exe
–script c:\mapinfo\topics\icons\script01.txt
The
following example shows only the commands that are useful when building or
modifying a DLL; R.H. offers more possibilities than those, see the program
help file.
A line that starts by // is a
comment and can be removed.
