Help With Resource.

How do u input a .gif file into a resource file so that i can distribute just my .exe without having to include the gif animation that my program is displaying. ? i know how to load a gif animation and all. but i just want to know whats the correct call to put it into a resource file. i know that .bmp is like this :

NAMEOFBMP BITMAP "file.bmp"

but how do i do a .gif ????? i know how to do it in vb6 so i know its possible in vb6, so i'm sure its possible in c++. thanx ahead of time

GIF images aren't natively supported in resource scripts, so you'll need to insert it as binary data.

i think it would be like this:

Gif_File GIF
{
Binary Data Here
}

how would i go about getting the binary data though ?
