SUMMARY
=======

The following describes what the RC compiler is telling you in its output when
it is writing resources

        <id>.<Predefined resource type> <bytes>

where <id> is the #define that you give a resource or the string in
uppercase; <predefined resource type> is one of the following

     #define CURSOR        1
     #define BITMAP        2
     #define ICON          3
     #define MENU          4
     #define DIALOG        5
     #define STRING        6
     #define FONTDIR       7
     #define FONT          8
     #define ACCELERATORS  9
     #define RCDATA       10

and <bytes> is the size of the resource.

NOTE: In order to have the output described above generated, you must use the -v
(verbose) switch for the resource compiler when binding a resource to an
executable.
