Am I supposed to manually edit this PRC file with the french, or am i > missing something here ? there are some perks with overlays.. you have a base prc and an overlay prc (postfixed with _enUS etc) the os knows to look into the overlay prc for your resources as there is a table of resources stored externally within an 'ovly' resource. you need to generate this "resource" so that the OS knows that there an overlay present. to get an idea, grab any program from palm's rom (which has an overlay file) and investigate the contents.. regis nicolas prc viewing utility does wonders for stuff like this.. happy hunting.. // az "first CPU's, then.. overlays.. *real* slow day" [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ardiri.com/ http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
