Using .MC files in C++ Builder
HI, I am hand building a project file in C++ Builder using header and source files from a vcxproj (Visual Studio ) file for an open source library. The VS project has a file with an extension .mc. What exaclty is this file? what does it do? C++ Builder does not seem to know a file type with extension .mc. How do I work it with c++ builder?

This link below gives a good overview of MC files and how to use them...

So it is just some text used as resource inside a DLL...
Visual Studio creates a DLL to hold that for - lets say, sorry I am Greek and forgive any mistakes - use inside the main application...
The questions are:
Is your application made with C++ Builder loading the DLL??
Do you need the dll or the resource (.res) file?
The above questions are asked because there are and other ways to implement the same functionality but because you are trying to copy code and functionality from VS I have to ask them.

@gtokas, can you please highlight the other methods you mention?
THat could be useful as Borland compiler does not seem to have a mc compiler, so I am assuming they follow a different method.

Sorry for the delay.
