In the same way you can add .prc files as resources to your app, you can add
the contents of any file as a resource using the Rez compiler.
Let's say you've got a binary file (foo.bin) you'd like to have included as
a
resource in your application.
Create a .r file with the following line in it:
read 'XXXX' (2000) "foo.bin" ;
That'll read "foo.bin" and create a resource (of type 'XXXX' with ID 2000)
with its contents.
This assumes you've already set up the file mappings so that .r files are
compiled by Rez.
Make sure that "foo.bin" is not longer than 63.5K or you'll end up with an
invalid database (since you'll have a record that's longer than the maximum
allowed).
