The units related to the resource system are in 
$fpcdir/packages/fcl-res/src. There's also a VersionResource unit.

For an example you can look at 
$lazarusdir/examples/lazresexplorer/remainunit.pas where this is used.

I haven't tested either of them (the unit and the resource explorer), 
but they should provide you with a starting point.
