This is covered in the  rsxntdj.hlp file distributed with the package. First
, use grc to compile your .rc into a .res.  From the DOS prompt,

% grc foo.rc

will produce foo.res.  Then, compile and link your code to produce an .exe.
use rsrc to add the resources to the exe, as in

% rsrc foo.res foo.exe

There are a few command line options that are covered in the hlp.  foo.rc
must be a valid resource file, obeying the standard syntax and layout. Add
your icons, bitmap resources and so forth to it.

The grc tool isn't real helpful if your .rc isn't correct, so start with a
simple example and resources until you get what you want.
