The easiest way to do this is to generate ".r" files, that will then be
compiled by the Rez plugin into the Mac resource format. Rez is a
standard Mac OS tool, with documentation on Apple's developer site. The
template file that Rez uses for Palm OS resources is UIResDefs.r,
included in the Palm OS SDK.
See

for an article about using Rez.
Anyway, this is the solution used by the PilRC plugin to make CW
resources. It avoids outputting messy binary data in the right Mac
hybrid interface too.
