Hi,

I am trying to link my app (famtest.exe) manitest file as a resource using 
an ARC file (famtest.arc) following some documentation that originally 
originated on Alaska's site.  Although the documentation is for Alaska 1.8 
I'm using 1.9 for this.

My ARC file contains only the following lines of code...

#define MANIFEST_RESID 1
#define MANIFEST 24
USERDEF MANIFEST
   MANIFEST_RESID FILE = "famtest.exe.manifest"

I then include FAMTEST.ARC in my XPJ file after my PRG list and just before 
my LIB entries.  The [PROJECT] section includes...

RC_COMPILE    = arc
RC_FLAGS      = /v

When I do a pbuild I get the follwing error...

famtest.arc(5:8) : error: syntax error -   1 FILE
famtest.arc: 1 error(s).

'arc /v "FAMTEST.ARC"' returned error   2

I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.... Thanks... 
Jonathan

Hi...

In discussions with Chris Chambers it was determined that I just had to 
remove the word "FILE" from the 4th line of my original attempt...

#define MANIFEST_RESID 1
#define MANIFEST 24
USERDEF MANIFEST
  MANIFEST_RESID = "famtest.exe.manifest"

Then in AppSys() I added one line of code...

LoadResource(1)     && Where 1 is the number associated with the manifest 
file

Thanks Chris for your assistance... Jonathan
