I converted over a big project (many, many resources) from using the CodeWarrior rsrc files to using PILRC .rcp files. It was a huge pain for various reasons (one of which is that PILRC designer didn't seem to convert carriage returns correctly).
Not to rub your nose in it, but it was definitely worth it. Having the resources as text files instead of binary, I mean. You can do merges in source code control, diff versions of the resources, and easily search for strings in your resources. I rarely go into PILRC designer. Editing the text files by hand is much easier than dealing with Constructor or PILRC Designer, both of which are, IMHO, POS. And I don't usually consider myself a hard-core "GUIs just slow you down" kinda guy. <minorRant> Now if only CodeWarrior would drop the .mcp file in favor of a text based file, so you could do merges, diffs and hand edit that file. I'll never understand why programming tools use binary files as their source files. Do you not check your source into SCC? </minorRant> "Rodolphe Br�jaude" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:111406@palm-dev-forum... > > I already bought CW8, and I just buy the POL librairy. > I don't want to buy anything else... > > Why is ther no price for updating CW8 to CW9, instead of purchasing the > whole > package ?? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Aaron Ardiri" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 3:26 PM > Subject: Re: what is exactly PILRC ?? > > > > > It is not a graphical editor? like Microsoft Visual? > > > > PilRC is not a graphical editor - its a compiler. if you want an > > editor, you can look at PilRC Designer over at www.falch.net > > > > > is it more efficicent that the ressource constructor > > > provide with CodeWarrior ? > > > > thats arguable :) constructor is graphical, and, some people like > > that - but, somewhat buggy and limiting :) there are things that > > PilRC does that constructor cannot do. > > > > > It's not free, as I can see, must I buy it ? > > > > not everything in this world is free. > > > > CodeWarrior R9 comes with PilRC Designer bundled; so, if you get > > CodeWarrior R9 - you get everything you need. i think your first > > step is to decide on what development environment you will be > > working with :) prc-tools? codewarrior? other? > > > > --- > > Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 > > Mobile Wizardry 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/
