See my article at http://www.palmoswerks.com/stories/storyReader$26. There is a built-in DeRez in CodeWarrior, and by using the proper Rez prefix file, you'll get the resources in a format you can actually use. If you want to turn it back into a Mac resource good for editing in Constructor, you may need to upgrade to CW Palm V8. This is the first version where we shipped the Mac OS Merge linker, which merges several resources together, producing a binary output. You might be able to do this with just the 68K linker, but your output will have some code and data resources in it -- Constructor should ignore there, but it could affect the final link if they're preserved. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
