[DUG] Attaching an executable to a project build

[Jeremy North]

Dave,

What version of Delphi are you using? With Delphi 2006 you can add a
text file with an RC extension that contains the resource information
and it will be compiled for you before the project is built.

Failing that, you can use the Open Tools API and handle the
BeforeCompile event. If you need some sample code for that let me
know.

cheers,
Jeremy
