Keith, I think your calculation of resource count is really low. You didn't allow for the resources on the forms (an average of just 20 per form would give an extra 1400 resources). And then there's the resource count cost of bitmap families.

I think it is entirely possible Regis is running into the resource count limitation.

Now Regis can slide past the Constuctor limit by having two (or more) RSC files, perhaps by pulling all the bitmaps and bitmap families into a seperate RSC file.
But then he runs into the same problem in the linker...


Any plans to fix this hard limit in the linker? It is a real problem for large applications!

The Mac OS Resource Manager limit is 2727 resources, IIRC.  I would =
characterize it more as a "hard limit" than a "soft limit".  The OP only =
has, what, 862 resources?  I don't think he's getting close to the Mac =
OS limit, even with any hidden Constructor "meta" resources.
