    I don't have the latest version of the book, but as far as I know
    it doesn't target any particular compiler. He uses plain  C and the
    Windows API. Perhaps he supplies make files for VC++ on the
    disc, but that's not the only way to build the project. You should
    be able to just drop the *.c & *.rc files onto your BCB project
    and then 'build'. Then again, I don't use BCB either, but it
    can't be that much different from BC++ 5 (which I use).

    What is the specific problem you are having? Are you having
    problems adding the .rc to the project? Is BCB refusing to
    compile it? Is BCB refusing to bind it? Or is this a runtime
    loading problem? The .rc probably contains several types
    of resources. Is this problem common to all of them or just
    one resource?
