Problem with creation of .res file (Borland C++ 5.5)

Ricardo

Hello,
I have just happened on a nice Borland C++ 5.5 tutorial at
http://www.webnotes.org/bcc55eng.htm, meant for the very novice like myself
:) I got stuck at creation of .res file needed to include some resoureces
into the EXE, e.g. an application icon. According to the author's
description I prepared a file "testres.rc " with the following content:
//==cut
MAINICON ICON LOADONCALL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE testres.ico
//==cut
where MAINICON is a constant naming the icon that I want to link in the next
step with my EXE. The name MAINICON is also present in my source file
"testres.c" as an argument for the function LoadIcon(hInsta nce,"MAINICON") .
While using the command: brc32 -32 -r testres.rc
I get an error: "Error testres.rc 1 23: Allocate failed" pointing at the
first and actually the only line of my "testres.rc " file.
What is the problem? Could you please give me a hint?
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. Kindest regards,
Ricardo

Hint: wrong newsgroup. Look for an appropriate newsgroup in the
'borland.public .*' hierarchy, or ask in the newsgroup dedicated to
programming Windows.
