to]

There is nothing magical about TRCs other than they are PRCs without all
the database header magic. PalmRC is capable of populating the resource
header, but it's not widely publicised.  Look in the resource formats
documentation and look for the DATABASE_HEADER xrd element. Then, use a
.PRC extension for output. Granted, the date and time fields of the
header will be static, but at least the database header is filled in.

A .trc doesn't have the header information required to install it on a
device.  This works:

palmrc name.xrd -o name.trc -p 68k
prcmerge name.trc -o name.prc -c cr8r -t rsrc -n "Name"
del name.trc

This creates name.prc, where name is the name of the xrd, and cr8r is
the creator-id.
