I wonder what the database type and owner ID are on something built
with PalmRC per Ben's suggestion... still might have to jump through
all but the last of these hoops. Let us know how it goes, if you get a
chance, won't you?

While PalmRC doesn't have options to set creator ID or database type, typically you would then pass the .trc file to PRCMerge and use that to output a .prc file with the appropriate values. Here's the help text for that tool:


PRCMerge - Palm OS Resource File Linker  6.2.0.6
Copyright (c) 2001-2004  PalmSource, Inc.  All rights reserved.

Usage:
  PRCMerge inputFile+ -o outputFile [options]

Options:
  @paramFile              Read parameters from specified file
  -help                   Display usage description
  -helpVersion            Display tool version
  -q|quiet                Suppress banner
  -o|output outputFile    Specify output PRC file
  -append                 Append resources to existing output file
  -n|dbName str           Database name
  -t|dbType type          Set database type
  -c|dbCreator creator    Set database creator
  -v|dbVersion version    Set database version number
  -r|dbFlagReset          Set database 'reset' flag
  -b|dbFlagBackup         Set database 'backup' flag
  -h|dbFlagHidden         Set database 'hidden' flag
  -p|dbFlagProtect        Set database 'copy protect' flag
  -dbFlagBundle           Set database 'bundle' flag
  -dbFlagExecutable       Set database 'executable' flag
  -dbFlagExtendedDB       Set database 'extendedDB' flag
  -only typeExpr          Process only specified resource(s)
  -omit typeExpr          Do not process specified resource(s)

A typeExpr may have one of these forms:
      type
      "type(id)"
      "type(id:id)"
