Here is the deal, at least on Windows. To get Constructor resources to
transliterate correctly, indeed you must set the post linker to one of the
"Palm OS 3.x" settings. But for Rez (.r) text resources, you must set the
post linker to "None" because the characters are already in the right code
page. This basically means you cannot mix Constructor and Rez files in the
same project and get proper transliteration for both.
Too bad, because using Rez for text-only resources is highly desirable.
Sending text files to offsite translators is far preferable to sending a
whole copy of Constructor and the .rsrc files. Constructor is hard enough
to use for those of us with years of experience.
One solution is this: put all Constructor resources in one CW target and all
Rez resources in another. Have each target set the post linker
transliteration appropriately. Build both. Then have a post-post-link step
where you combine all the resources into the final .prc file. You can do
this in a batch file or build script using Par from http://www.djw.org.
