I'm trying out the CFResGen utility. It's the CF cousin of the full
framework's ResGen utility. CFResGen is supposed to permit me to convert a
resource file from .txt, .resx or .resources file format into any of the
other file formats. However, it refuses to open any .resources file, saying
"error: CFResgen does not support reading binary formats". The documentation
says this should work -- so what's up?

Thanks, Alex.

My MSDN documentation (a little out of date -- Feb 2003) indicates that it
supports reading .resources files.

Also, if you run CFResGen without command-line arguments, it displays the
help text that's appropriate for ResGen. Even the example uses "ResGen" as
the program-to-execute. It looks like something was overlooked when CFResGen
was created....

I was able to get what I needed by using .txt files as an intermediary.
Luckily, I had only string resources in the file.
