While you are at it, you can also do this for color icons and color bitmaps following
the format given in the PalmOS.h headers.
Since everyone is having so many problems with the Metrowerks Constructor, these
resources can be written out as .r files and
simply placed in the project file just like the small icon.
Anyone have text examples of the the icon and bitmap families resources?
