The constants _fdType and _fdCreator are duplicated in the STR# 128 "Constant Names" resource inside the Statz Extras file and they have different values respectively in the _Con 128 resource. The values I need for these constants to be are the ones that appear first in the STR# resource file precisely matching the IM FInfo record offsets. Now, my program seems to be working fine, but, this has prompted me to ask; "Is it safe to assume that the first occurrance of a duplicated constant in the STR# resource be the one the FB compiler grabs when it compiles an application?"
