                           Hello Example for PB/CC



To compile the HELLO example, first load the resource script HELLO.RC into the
PowerBASIC IDE (CCEDIT). Compile HELLO.RC, producing a PowerBASIC resource
file, HELLO.PBR. Now load the program, HELLO.BAS. Compile it to produce the
executable file, HELLO.EXE.

The #RESOURCE metastatement in HELLO.BAS causes the HELLO.PBR resource file to
be made a part of the HELLO.EXE executable, so the program can access its
resources. Resource files are part of the source code for your program. They
do not need to be distributed with the compiled .EXE version of your program.

The HELLO.RC file includes a sample "version" resource. To view version
information, right-click on the HELLO.EXE program in Explorer and select
"Properties". You'll be able to view the version information in the "Version"
tab.
