Norman,

There must be something I am doing incorrectly. I tried creating a new
resource file and adding a CURS resource to it. I then copied and pasted
a cursor and mask from another application's resource. However, when I
bring this resource file to My Windows box it does not work. I get a
document icon in the project instead or the cursor arrow icon. However
if I import a cursor from a sample project SmartSplitter 1.2.2 by called
CursorHorizontalAdjust I do get the arrow icon in the project. I can
DoubleClick that file in the IDE and view the cursor and mask.

Do you have any clues what I am doing wrong now?

Thanks

Tom

Windows will drop the resource fork of the file so it's effectively empty when you copy the file from a Mac to Windows. Try adding it to the Mac project and then copying the whole project across instead.
That might have some effect.

Send me the SmartSplitter icon file so I can look at one thing in it.
It may be a data fork based resource which resedit cannot create.
There are ways around this though.
