    Compiling an *.rc file with Borland C/C++

    I'm trying to load and/or compile a (*.rc) resource file using Borland C++. However, when I try to load the file into the project or try to compile it using BRCC32 I always get an error "Expecting Filename" or "Cann't find filename". Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get rid of this error message.

    Are you talking about the free borland command line compiler or one with an IDE?

    Maybe someone else can help then.

    I have the free one, and to compile a resource (.rc) file, you type:

    brc32 filename.rc

    which gives you a .res file used when linking.

    Right, that should work. I forgot that brcc32 is for c++ and brc32 is for C, I guess. But I get the same error message using brc32 that I get using brcc32. In addition, the compiled resource will work with the ide and link even if the *.rc is compile with another rc compiler like lrc. This file won't compile even with lrc so, there must be a problem with the code. Therefore, I'm listing/attaching it in case someone can notice the problem for me.
    Thanks in advance.
