The Resource Editor can open older resource file formats. If you open a resource file set
of an older resource file format version, the version will automatically be updated to the

The program ID is a 16-hex-digit number that uniquely identifies the device interface for
a device. You can format the program ID as a standard or non-standard program ID.

that identify the manufacturer, classification, usage, channel type, and model number of
