How to use .RC files ?

[Dominique Bodin]

Hello, every one !

I need some help about the correct use of .RC files,
on how to convert them to .RES files which then be included
into .BAS files.

Could someone explain the complete process to follow ?

Thank's a lot.

You have to compile your RC script into a binary RES file, and then convert that into a PBR file which can be included into your PB/DLL or PB/CC program with the #RESOURCE metastatement.

Your PB compiler should come with a copy of the Micro$oft Resource Compiler, RC.EXE, which should be in the PBDLL60\Bin or PBCC20\Bin as appropriate. Those folders should also have in them a copy of PBRES.EXE which is used to convert the RES files into PBR files.

I wrote a batch file to automate this process, so everything can be done with one command.

I assume you mean RC.EXE instead of PBRES...?
