This can be done fairly easily using CodeWarrior (but as others have said,
the result is a resource database, a .prc, not a record database). I did it
like this:
1) Create a build target for your resource database, and make it a "Palm OS
Code Resource" in the "68K Target" settings panel.
2) Create one .c (or .cpp) file containing a dummy startup function:
#define dummyStartup __Startup__
void dummyStartup (void);
void dummyStartup (void)
{
}
3) Create your Constructor file with the desired bitmaps and bitmap
families. You can also use PilRC files.
4) Include the .c/.cpp file and the Constructor file in the target.
5) Build. The result will be a resource database with no code in it that
you can access from your program like any other resource database. I guess
the linker strips out the dummy function.
