SYMPTOMS
========
When building an application, the resource compiler (RC.EXE) may give this
error:
fatal error RC1120: out of memory, needed 16777216 bytes
CAUSE
=====
RC.EXE version 3.5 requires 16 megabytes of virtual memory.
RESOLUTION
==========
Work around the problem by closing down some applications or by increasing the
Paging File Size (set in the System settings).
To set the Paging File Size:
1. Select the Control Panel icon from the Main group.
2. Double-click the System icon.
3. Click the Virtual Memory button.
4. Increase the Maximum Size field in the Virtual Memory dialog box.
STATUS
======
Although this behavior is by design, RC.EXE was modified to function in less
memory in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0.
