By the way, a nice new feature of Constructor 1.6 is that it allows you to
get resources directly from a PRC.
Therefore, you can build your app using GCC/PilRC, then open the PRC with
Constructor, then it can be as simple as copy/paste from the PRC to an empty
.rsrc file (or even "Save As...").
Of course, after that, you will have to name each item, since Constructor
can't guess the names.
Another concern in GCC to CW port is that CW enforces some numbering rules
(typically, "objects in a form must have an ID greater than that of the
form"). If you don't respect them, you will get into trouble because it
won't let you do what you want.
It would be nice if some Constructor options allowed the rules enforcement
to be turned off!
