Description

A TResourceCollection manages a collection of resource names. It stores the position and the size of a resource, as well as the name of the resource. It stores these items in records that look like this:

TYPE
   TResourceItem = packed RECORD
      Posn: LongInt;
      Size: LongInt;
      Key : String;
   End;
   PResourceItem = ^TResourceItem;

It overrides some methods of TStringCollection in order to accomplish this.

Remark:

Remark that the TResourceCollection manages the names of the resources and their assiciated positions and sizes, it doesn't manage the resources themselves.
