cool devtools

http://www.resedit.net/ - free resource editor for .rc resource compiler scripts - the dialog wysiwyg editor is great. you can hardcore hardcode handcode win32 stuff but don't code the gui layout, that's tedious

http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/c14981 - visual studio add-on that auto-increments versioninfo in .rc and .rc2 resource scripts, works for almost all versions of visual studio

the version auto-increment is fun, and so far we're at version 1, 3, 1, 137
