Does anyone know if it is possible [and also legit] to have a record of a resource database be larger than 64K? I am not looking for some workaround for myself, to get past a 64k barrior... but I just wonder why I see these odd PRC files cropping on on the latest palm devices.
Yes, it can be done. The PRC format doesn't limit it. However, HotSync, Exchange Manager, and VFS's DB import routines don't work with these large resource DBs. TapWave fixed these problems on their Zodiac device which is why it uses a newer version of HotSync Manager and won't currently talk to Mac OS. You may see these burned into ROM images -- in there, it is safe to have the large resources, since those DBs are never supposed to be transferred off the device.
