 Cross-platform development (UNIX)

Hello,
        I am working on a project that involves developing a console app. for NT.
This app. is also scheduled for development for AIX Unix. I would like to
address the issue of internationalization by segregating my NT resources
(nothing but strings) into a resource-only DLL. I would then like to share
this resource-only DLL, or at least the resource file, on the Unix side.
This approach is very attractive since I would have a single code base for
all resources that are easily managed under Developer's Studio.
        Has anyone addressed this issue before? Is there any Unix libraries (other
than a Win32 replacement like MainWin XDE or WIND/U) that allows one to
access a Windows resource-only DLL?

Thanks,
Dave

It seems to me that the string table resource file layout is sufficiently
simple that you should be able to build an AWK script to convert it to nice C
structure definitions for the UNIX side, rather than trying to parse the DLL
binary. It's also not hard to get AWK for NT so you could test that part on
NT as well.
