'Perform the following steps to use this code example:
'
'Main assembly:
'1) In a main directory, create a file named "rmc.txt" that 
'contains the following resource strings:
'
'day=Friday
'year=2006
'holiday="Cinco de Mayo"
'
'2) Use the resgen.exe tool to generate the "rmc.resources" 
'resource file from the "rmc.txt" input file.
'
'> resgen rmc.txt
'
'Satellite Assembly:
'3) Create a subdirectory of the main directory and name the 
'subdirectory "es-MX", which is the culture name of the 
'satellite assembly.
'
'4) Create a file named "rmc.es-MX.txt" that contains the 
'following resource strings:
'
'day=Viernes
'year=2006
'holiday="Cinco de Mayo"
'
'5) Use the resgen.exe tool to generate the "rmc.es-MX.resources" 
'resource file from the "rmc.es-MX.txt" input file.
'
'> resgen rmc.es-MX.txt
'
'6) Use the al.exe tool to create a satellite assembly. If the 
'base name of the application is "rmc", the satellite assembly 
'name must be "rmc.resources.dll". Also, specify the culture, 
'which is es-MX.
'
'> al /embed:rmc.es-MX.resources /c:es-MX /out:rmc.resources.dll 
'
'7) Assume the filename for this code example is "rmc.vb". Compile 
'rmc.vb and embed the main assembly resource file, rmc.resources, in 
'the executable assembly, rmc.exe:
'
'>vbc /res:rmc.resources rmc.vb
'
'8) Execute rmc.exe, which obtains and displays the embedded 
'resource strings.
