Resource file (*.res) reader writer
The following units are the only code I can find to read and write res files in Delphi 2009.

Unfortunately there is no documentation for the resource file units.
I have a demo that I can provide that uses these units to fill a TListview with cursor groups and cursors loaded from a res file, but I can not figure out how to get the index of a cursor in a cursor group when I try to add the contents of the res file to a TTreeview.
If you have an index to a cursor group and the number of cursors in the group how can you get the index of the cursors contained in the group?
I thought it would be a good idea for such a component because:
1. there is little information is available for Delphi and res files
2. no commercial components are available to read and write res files
3. Delphi does not ship with a resource editor.
To keep things simple to start the component could be developed to read and write graphics files but then expanded to include other resource types later if there was interest.
Initial development could include support for Cursors, Icons and bitmaps.
I am willing to help develop and test the component.
