Steve,

You have to copy the BC5.02 bcrc[32].exe, rcdll.dll and some BC-specific DLL
dependancies (of which the list of names escape me at the moment - but run
'depends.exe' on bcrc32.exe to get the list) then copy these into the
vc7\bin directory under visual studio.  Rename the BC rc compiler to rc.exe.
Don't forget to save the MS ones first!!!

Corey : How did you get the borland rc compiler into vc?  Do you run it as a
custom build step with an external tool (a la swig)?

Thanks;
