On a hard-reset Tungsten, I see the following three files for the 'Clock' application, for example:PcLK is the creator code of the clock application.
(Name / CrId / Type)
Clock_PcLK / PcLK / appl
Clock_PcLK_appl_a68k / PcLK / a68k
Clock_PcLK_enUS / PcLK / ovly
Can someone help me make sense of this? Looks like the Clock application has an overlay in English, and I am guessing that it is Motorola 68k code being emulated on the ARM CPU through PACE, hence the mysterious "Clock_PcLK_appl_a68k" database.
What do the PcLK and a68k creatorId/types mean? Does the OS manage the file with the 'a68k' creator ID? Is this something that Hotsync backs up?
PACE normally deals with shadow versions of the resources in your 68K apps -- this is a converted version of the resource that follows ARM byte ordering and structure packing rules. These shadow structures are stored in the 'a68k'-typed databases.
While your application is running in the emulator, take a moment to use the view/Databases commmand and you can see one of these DBs created for your app. It will have the currently active set of resources, all in their ARM-native formats. This DB will keep the cached structures until the application closes, when they'll be removed.
