OK, not necessarily a PalmOS questions...but...is a Palm Developer 
Question!!!!

I'm using CW7.0..hey...just downloaded the SDK 5.0 and compiled my app 
with the new SDK...runs excellent in the Simulator under emulated 
4.0...cool!
Anyway, I digress.....

Ok, using CW7.0....but I am NOT using the Palm Constuctor....I HATE THAT 
THING....I'm using VFDIDE and have the PilRC plugin for CW7.0 working 
just fine.
Now the question....I want to put multiple languages on my palm app. How 
did I do this before...well, I couldn't get the multi-language .prc 
working, so I used cw to create the .r file and had some folks create 
.r's with all the different languages. Then created different targets 
with the appropriate .r's.

Yeah, yeah...stupid...I know...but I was in a hurry and the prc plugin 
for CW wasn't yet working correctly with multi language support (I THINK 
that may be fixed now, not sure, haven't tried).

Now, my problem, I have totally changed the prc for the next release of 
our app. And, I don't want to do the same thing with the .r's again. So, 
I need some advice on the best approach to managing multiple languages 
in prc files with CW.

One of the biggest problems is that when using multiple languages, 
sometimes the text string size differences require slight field 
displacement.

Option 1: Create multiple prc's....but VFDIDE doesn't support multiple 
languages (I'm talking kanji here folks, not roman languages).
Option 2: Use the multi-language support for PilRC. But the problem here 
is with string lengths, especially in labels that are prompting for 
field entry on the same "line"
Option 3: Dunno...any suggestiongs...

thanks in advance!!!

James
