From MWC 2.1.7 Lexicon (Sybex _Programmer's Guid to GEM_ concurs):

int rsrc_load(filename)
char *filename;
rsrc_load returns 0 if an error occurred, and a number greater than 0
if one did not.

int rsrc_gaddr(type, index, address)
int type, index;
char **address;
rsrc_gaddr returns 0 if an error occurred, and a number greater than 0
if one did not.

Yep.

Are you sure you have the correct filename for the resource file?  Did
you put the complete filename in, including the .RSC extension?  Have
you checked to make sure the RSC file hasn't been garbaged?
