Okay, so what is the following (in the make file) doing for me?
.rc.res: rc -r $*.rc
Compiling resource files using the Win32 SDK requires three separate tools: the first tool you use is the RC compiler, which turns your .RC file into a .RES file; you then use the CVTRES tool to convert the .RES file into an object file; and finally, you link the object file to the program executable using LINK32. The normal syntax is as follows: RC [options] _script-file_ The _script-file_ parameter specifies the name of the resource-definition file that contains the names, types, filenames, and descriptions of the resources to be compiled. The 'options' parameter can be one or more of the command-line options, such as: /? -- Displays a list of RC command-line options. /d -- Defines a symbol for the preprocessor that you can test with the #ifdef directive. /r -- Ignored. Provided for compatibility with existing makefiles. Options are not case sensitive, and a hyphen (-) can be used in place of a slash mark (/). You can combine single-letter options if they do not require any additional parameters.

Help Compiler using the input Rich Text Files. I personally prefer the older Windows Help (.HLP) files over the newer Compiled Help (.CHM) files. They seem to be faster when accessed and use less resources. And they do not require Internet Explorer.
