Thats not easy possible unfortunately, there is simply not enough information in the generated source file.

But you can try to write a perl script or something if you want to. You might also use some other definition file format then, most probably *.rsm (because it's text based, and the other formats have too restrictive limits regarding identifier length). Of course i can also explain the format of *.rso files.

Hi,
I compiled Hatari with the patch and it appears to be the
same as without the patch (this was certainly expected).

If you were able to convert an edited 'sdlgui.sdl' file back
into  'sdlgui.rsc' and 'sdlgui.rso' files, there would be no
dependency on ORCS other than the convenience of
using it to make SDL menus. This could make ORCS
extremely useful for SDL in general.
