The Windows help system also uses "resource" for the name of the source used 
to create a help file.  It is a different type of resource than the one for 
which you were looking.

The directory that you show is correct.  The one I showed is not.  I typed 
in the directory name from memory - so much for the quality of my memory :-(

The machine I am on right now has BCB version 6 on it.  Here is a screen 
capture of a directory search.

C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\Bin

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\Bin

There also is another, brc32.exe (only one 'c' in the name).  It supposedly 
is a shell for brcc32.exe.  I don't know of any reasons to use it.
