Subj : resource files

When a .res file is linked to your application, does it mean a reference 
to the .res
file is passed, or is the data actually appended to the final .exe file, 
making it larger?

I ask because when I use BRC32 to link a bitmap resource, it has no 
effect on the
size of the .exe, which leaves me wondering if I'm not using BRC32 
right.  At runtime
LoadBitmap returns with an error,  but GetLastError only returns 0, so I 
can't tell
if the problem lies with the resource data or the LoadBitmap parameters.

Thanks.
