80,000 items list

[Alance Bexnar]

Following the various advices coming from this newsgroup, since I'm 
using still CW6, in order to get access to a fixed 80,000 items list on 
Palm (CW6 doesn't allow a segment to be >64k)

- made separate resource source (.rcp)
- installed the Pilrc plugin for cw6 (and change file mappings)
Then I get something like that in my .rcp

        FORM ID CineListForm AT (0 0 160 160)
        USABLE
        NOSAVEBEHIND
        BEGIN
            LIST "Element 0"
            "Element 1"
            "Element 2"
            ...
            "Element 79000" ID CineListFormList AT (0 0 160 AUTO) USABLE
            VISIBLEITEMS 12
            FIELD ID ...
            LABEL "Title" ...
        END
When compiling the .rcp file, I get an "unknown" error (coming from 
pilrc I guess), displayed in the Errors and Warnings window.

Seems like I'm back to my initial problem: since pilrc goes through a C 
syntax (according to the .r generated), the compiler won't let a segment 
be > 64k - am I right?

If yes, is there another way to generate the resource (should not be a 
list maybe?) bypassing this 64k limitation ?

Try http://www.palmoswerks.com/stories/storyReader$46 , the article 
called "Stuffing Data into Resources".

Of course, you can't go wrong by starting at the first article and 
reading the whole site.
