It's a knowledge-based task rather than an intelligence-based one. I was,
for long considering writing one (using Allegro), but decided not to. For
one, you need to know all the controls, the syntax, their peculiarities, the
#defines that go into their STYLE statements and their hair colours. That in
itself will be a massive task, even if you have a good reference. It'll take
a long time to reach a respectable stage. If you try to hurry things up,
you'll end up with a half-baked program, and god knows we have enough of
those already. This is probably why you say that it's hard to find a `good
and free res editor'.

However, if you still decide to write one, please let me know, I'd like to
help as much as I can.
