PIF Prototype File Resource Section

The resource section is framed by the keywords @RESOURCE and @ENDRESOURCE. This section contains the language-specific text strings for the PIF product. The text strings are used, for example, with the installation dialogs. They are referred to by a text identification number. The locale entry specifies the default language of the PIF product.

@RESOURCE:

#locale: ..... ;
#text: ..... ;
#utf8encoded: ..... ;

@ENDRESOURCE:

Note: Internally, the text strings are formatted in multi-byte character mode. During PIF product creation these characters are converted into UTF8 code. At installation time, the Installer converts the characters back to multi-byte character mode.
