As the name suggests, a resource compiler (or RC) compiles resources. When we speak of resources in programming we are often referring to memory resources, however programs use many resource elements other than just memory (files and devices are also resources). However, a Windows application typically makes use of other resources such as strings, cursors, icons, bitmaps, dialog boxes, fonts, version information, and so on. To make use of these resource elements we need a resource-definition script (.rc file) but we typically use a resource editor to generate one for us. The RC's job is to compile the resource-definition script, the output of which can subsequently be linked with our application. The resources themselves are actually embedded in the data segment of the executable by the linker, thus making those resources immediately available to our application.
