BTW ...

thinking about your issue i was reminded that i have written a command for a 
NW/Windows server that does exactly what you want - it is just exporting the 
resource files by merging all files in a single file.
Here is the example for the nsrdb directory - of course you may adopt it for 
others as well: 

   for /L %a in (0,1,9) do (type E:\nsr\res\nsrdb\0%a\* |find /v ".\0" >> 
E:\nsr\res\nsr.res)

Now you can easily make global changes.

Finally,

  - stop all daemons/services
  - rename the nsrdb directory
  - start the NW services

and your file will be splitted into a new nsrdb directory.
Is this magic? - not really. It is just exactly what NW had to do when 
converting the nsrdb.res file from NW 6 to NW 7. I just verified that it still 
runs with NW 8.

Go ahead an test for yourself - it must not necessarily be the production 
server ;-)
