SUMMARY
=======
RCData.exe is a sample that demonstrates how to use a user-defined resource in a
Windows-based application.

TEST RCDATA
BEGIN
<data goes here>
END
An application accesses this resource with the following statements:
hFound = FindResource(hInstance, "TEST", RT_RCDATA);
hRes = LoadResource(hInstance, hFound);
lpBuff = LockResource(hRes);
// use lpBuff to access the resource contents
bResult = UnlockResource(hRes);
bResult = FreeResource(hRes);
