re rc problems

Hi

I have had problems within drdialog displaying icons in dll's so
normally converted these into bitmaps which normally worked, using the
bmptodll tool, now with VxRexx I have hit a dead end, making the dll
with the drdialog tool does not work! using this version, which is meant
to be the good one :

IBM RC (Resource Compiler) Version 5.00.002 Dec 18 1997
Copyright (C) IBM Corp. 1997.
- Licensed Materials - Program Property of IBM - All Rights Reserved.
US Government Users Restricted Rights - Use, duplication or disclosure
restricted by GSA ADP Schedule Contract with IBM Corp.

so I make a rc file uniarch.rc, which looks something like this:
BITMAP 1 convert.bmp
BITMAP 2 convertd.bmp
BITMAP 3 save.bmp
BITMAP 4 saved.bmp
BITMAP 5 new.bmp
BITMAP 6 newd.bmp

ICON 10 ARJ.ICO
ICON 11 Compress 04.ICO
ICON 12 LHA.ICO
ICON 13 LHA2.ICO
ICON 14 Info.ico
ICON 15 test2.ico
ICON 16 Zip.ICO
ICON 17 Zipped.ICO
ICON 18 zip2.ico

I make a res file
rc -r uniarch.rc uniarch.res all goes fine, I end up with a resource
file but how do I convert this to a dll
rc uniarch.rc uniarch.dll nor does rc -x2 uniarch.res uniarch.dll

RC :Error 1002:RC could not find file .

does not even say what file it's looking for, any ideas?????????????

In desperation I turned to a resource manager which I found on hobbes
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/util/resmgr.zip

make the res file rc -r mufile.rc myfile.res
resmgr.cmd -a uniarch.rc uniarch.dll,
seems to work then I normally
lxlite it, but not on all files so I need to know if I am using the
wrong switches with rc, because I did get it work work, just forgoten how!!!

Regards

Adrian
