I'm highjacking this thread to ask a slightly different question:  How
do I change both version numbers programmatically?

There are a million messages explaining how to set the tver 1 and 
1000 resources but I can't find any information on how to change 
the PalmRez version *programmatically*.  I want to automate the
build process but currently it looks like the database of every prc
will have the same version number in it.

The CodeWarrior scripting interface doesn't seem to be the answer
because (as I understand it) PalmRez isn't a native CodeWarrior 
tool so the PalmRez panel isn't supported by the CW object model.

The only thing that seems to come close is the Text Description Files
box in the PalmRez settings panel which:   
lets you specify the name of a resource descriptor file (.r file) that 
describes Palm OS resources.
but the documentation suggests that this is just another way to
connect your project's resource files.

There's also:
DropRSR is aMac OS utility that converts the .rsrc files found
within a Resource.Frk folder into .RSR files that are suitable for
the PalmRez Postlinker and Constructor for Palm OS. DropRSR is
located at:
CodeWarrior:Other Metrowerks Tools:DropRSR 1.1

on p124 of Targeting PalmOS but that tool isn't in the indicated
folder on my installation (optional file?  old info?).


Alternatively, is it a problem if the prc database version number
(set using the PalmRez settings) panel is the same for all prc's?
