Isn't the "extra code" dwarfed by the 8-10 bytes *per string* consumed
by resource header information? That's why I've been postponing
moving my user-visible strings into resources. They're already
#defined in separate human-language-specific .h files for localization
purposes.
Or does PalmOS have a string list resource like the Mac's 'STR#'?
