to Mike Henning
your program doesn't work.
i have tried compiling it with MinGW, tcc, Borland C compiler bcc32, and  
Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 but only MinGW and tcc were able to  
compile it to exe files. both exe files got an error.
these are their error reports:
LinkRes2Exetcc(LinkRes2Exe.c compiled with tcc) got this error report, the  
one you get when you click "click here" and "click here" again in the  
dialog where you can send the error report.

thanks for the help but can you give me an example c source code, resource  
file and rc source code that when
c source code is compiled with tcc to exe file, and
rc source code and resource file are compiled with rc to res file,
LinkRes2Exe.exe can combine the created .res file and .exe file into one  
.exe file

the PlaySoundA problem was solved already. thanks for that help in  
tiny_impdef.exe winmm

to Jakob Eriksson, i have used your code and some strcat functions to make  
the executable create the manifest file from string variable for itself  
before it shows any windows. thanks for the code. thanks for the code. if  
Mike Henning's program still doesn't work i might resort to include your  
code of making the sound file from an unsigned char data.
the only problem is you have to restart the executable for it to show the  
xp theme.
so does anybody know how to make a c source code that when compiled can  
conditionally restart itself like so
        ...
        if manifest file doesn't exist
                write manifest file from string variable that contains manifest 
contents
		restart program // this is what i need , the code for the above and  
below is already done with the help of jakob's code
        else continue
        ...
to all, so what i need are:
	a working LinkRes2Exe.exe or just c file, rc file and resource file that  
uses it
        a program that can restart itself conditionally

to Doug Currie, i'll try using that (strip and upx) on the executable.  
strip is from MinGW, right? just checking

to all, please, just a favor to all if you're going to send me exe files  
please rename their extensions to ._exe because my gmail account can 't  
accept exe files as attachments,  :)

thanks to all in advance, i hope i am not imposing on anyone, i just like  
to improve my work.

Update: Use this version. The previous one has a small
alignment bug preventing manifests from working
correctly.
