Lazy programmer that I am, I wrote a utility (For the PC.. a DOS program)
that will convert a resource file to GNUC code. 

 PalmGen.exe is a DOS based program that will take a Palm Resource file
(PilRc format) and generate GNUC source code that will set up form handlers
for all of the forms that are defined in the resource file, object handlers
for the objects in each form, and menu handlers for each menu. The idea is
to use a GUI resource editor (like Arbor Builder) to create all of your
forms and objects in those forms, then use this tool to create the GNUC code
for a working prototype, or skeletal framework.

It's freeware, so don't hurt yourself with it. Let me know what you think. I
posted the source code as well, but it's not pretty. What I thought would be
a day's work turned into a 2 week obsession. It may not be perfect, but I
think it can save you a lot of time if you are starting a large Palm project
(tons of forms with tons of form objects, and several menus to keep track
of) .
