A quick (actually it took a little while to find it) search of the
archives found that I asked this exact same question back in Oct 2000!

The answer is however you would do it if you where programming in C
for your compiler.

See below for quick instructions for using LccWin (other compilers 
are probably similiar):

-----------
1. put this in *.rc:

500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "whatever.ico"

(I use 500 here but any number will do, as long as it isn't used by 
another
resource)

2. compile the resource-file with rc.exe (or maybe it's lrc.exe)

3. include the .res file on the commmandline when you link your program.
-----------

I haven't used the LccWin compiler for a long time.

I hope this helps.
