IMO you're wrong. Multiple rsc-files is a pain to maintain. I think
there is a tool to automate it (rsc-trans?), but having the AES do this
automatically is a much more elegant solution. No need to distribute
several RSC-files which are 75% identical.

I've always found this one of TOS' best features. No installation
necessary, just copy a folder or unzip an archive and there it is.
