a resource file</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>

<context>       <p>Each converter DLL requires an associated information file.

This file allows the converter architecture to read the properties of the

converters in the DLL without having to load the DLL itself.</p><p>The following

information is written to a resource file:</p><ul>

<li><p>A single <codeph>CONARC_RESOURCE_FILE</codeph> resource which contains

an array of <codeph>CONVERTER_DATA</codeph> resources.</p></li>

<li><p>Each <codeph>CONVERTER_DATA</codeph> resource describes the properties

of a single converter. It specifies the UID of the converter, an array of

MIME resources describing the data types from which the converter can convert

and another array of MIME resources describing the data types to which the

converter can convert.</p></li>

<li><p>Each MIME resource specifies the supported MIME type. For example,

text/html, and an array of <codeph>LANG_DATA</codeph> resources giving localized

human-readable names for that MIME type.</p></li>

<li><p>Each <codeph>LANG_DATA</codeph> resource specifies a language ID and

a human-readable name for the MIME type in that language. </p></li>

</ul><p><b>NOTE</b>: The resource file is included within a <codeph>start

resource ...</codeph> end block in the project file. Its target path must

be<filepath>\resource\convert\</filepath>.</p><p>The following example is

an information file for a converter DLL that contains one converter:</p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">#include &lt;conplugin.rh&gt;
