It's not an easy question because it's not 'all or nothing'.  When
creating an internationalisation system to support our requirements
we moved string and bitmap resource out of Constructor and into
.rcp and .r files generated by scripts in an Access database.  I've
had significant problems with Constructor over the years (random
file corruptions, numerous significant bugs, no support for external
access to its non-Windows file format) and would advise that you
consider not using Constructor for resource management.

In saying that, I haven't created forms in the non-Constructor tools
so I can't offer full advice, just that management of string and bitmap
resources was *much* easier using standard Windows file formats.

While I am unhappy with the lack of progress CodeWarrior has
shown in years from v5 to v8 and consider the upgrade price too
high it is, overall, a good development environment with good
tools.  I suspect that the work involved in keeping up with PalmOS
changes forces many client-requested changes to be pushed back
to lower priority.
