- Hi Jon,
- usually it is sufficient to include the resource script file produced
- by Workshop into your project, just as you include the c++ source code
- files (or the module definition file, if you are using such). At least
- that's the way Borland's C++ works; I don't know the products of other
- vendors but would expect them to behave similar. This should be
- documented in the manuals for your compiler.

- If you are serious about programming Windows you should get Petzold's
- book. (Charles Petzold, Programming Windows 3.1, Microsoft Press, ISBN
- 1-55615-395-3). A slower paced book is for example Jim Conger's
- Windows Programming Primer Plus, The Waite Group, ISBN 1-878739-21-2.

- Hope this helps,

- P.S. A better platform for questions like this is
- comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.controls or .misc
