Title: use Bitmaps from resource (*.res)?
{
Create and edit a new text file in your project directory,
eg: newres.txt
In the file, write:
MY_BMP_RES BITMAP "bmpname.bmp"
and save the file.
Open a dos shell and go to your directory, type this command:
brcc32.exe newres.txt
this will create a resource file called newres.res with your bitmap.
