Here's another option that's easy, and it's the one I use.
Create an empty project. (ie, no code besides a PilotMain.) Move
a bunch of resources to this project. Change the output file name
to ###.pdb, change it's creator to the same as your program, and
change the type to something other than appl. Compile. Now you
have a .pdb file. Now in your main application's AppStart, open this
.pdb with:
DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator('(.pdb type)','FAN2',dmModeReadOnly);
Now all those resources are availiable just like if you linked
them into your .prc. (Of course you now have another file to ship.)
This basically allows you to use Constructor without worrying about
any limits.
