Are you using the SDK from the CW for Palm R5 CD? Or are you using the one
downloaded from Palm's website? I gave it a check here but was not able to
find what you are seeing. The Starter project on my installation has only
one .rsrc file in the Src folder. (This is on a Mac, BTW). For the second
issue, Constructor's generation of the header file is correct. There is a
slight bug in the Starter.rsrc project where the header file to be generated
was not named. Under such circumstances, Constructor will automatically
generate a header called Starter_res.h. As for the code checking for 2.0 OS,
my understanding is that this is correct partly for legacy purposes (you
don't want code that would work fine on a PalmPilot breaking just because
you don't have a Palm III).
The stationeries (File->New Project) would probably be the best way to
create a project; you don't really need to copy the Starter project from the
SDK for each new project. Unfortunately, while the stationery creator will
name your project and folder name to the name you specify, it will not
rename the source file or resources. Sorry.
