Here's some useful info on the Rez format from the CodeWarrior for Palm
Computing platform FAQ (http://www.metrowerks.com/pda/palm/faq)
9.4 What is Rez and where can I get documentation about it?
A Rez is a format that describes Mac OS resources using a text file.The Rez
plugin compiles the text into Mac OS resources. On Windows, these
resources are found in the output (.tmp) file. The Rez format is documented
in the following file, found on Apple's web site.
ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./Documentt
ion/MPW_Reference/Bldg%26Mng_Progs_In_MPW.sit.hqx
For Palm OS programming, Rez is useful for binding the results of several
builds into one executable.For instance, if you build a program that uses a
shared library and you want to bind that shared library with your .prc file,
you can include a Rez text file in your program that includes the output of
the shared library build.The syntax for such an application would included
in "SomeSharedLib.tmp".
In order to use .r files in CodeWarrior, you will need to do the following:
Add a new file mapping in the File Mappings pref panel of the Project
Settings. You need to set the file type to TEXT, all Flags off, .r extension
and the compiler to be used is Rez. Once this is done, you can use the .r
file in the project.
As for the other programs, I'm afraid I don't know of any off the top of my
head. Someone here may be able to suggest one. It may be possible to De-rez
the font and stick it in a .r file (wild guess) and use this .r file though.
Hope this helps.
