A description of what behavior you observe that you believe is
incorrect.

windres halts with the diagnostic message

C:\GCC-295.2\BIN\WINDRES.EXE: YahELite.rc:10: parse error


The following resource directives appear to be unhandled

CLASS "YahELiteDlg:class"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 0, 0, 0x1


in order for the script to pass windres
the  -->CLASS "YahELiteDlg:class"
has to be removed completely

and the -->FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 0, 0, 0x1
must be changed to 
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"



Workarounds
if one is fortunate enough to have a .res file

windres -i YahELite.res -o YahELiteres.o

runs to completion without generating an error diagnostic.
