here's one way:
1. use CW to compile and link your code and resources (minus the font)
2. then run a batch file to post-link the font into the .PRC file
the batch file would take the .ptf file and rename it so the first four
characters are the type (eg, Tbmp), the next four are the resource id in hex
(eg, 0380), and the extension is .BIN. then call RCPALM.EXE to link the
.BIN file into the existing .PRC file.
RCPALM is available at www.roadcoders.com/rcpalm.exe
run it with no parameters to get the usage info.
