Actually, I would like to try for myself this idea of a resource database, but under CW 9.3, when I try to link my new "PalmOS code resource" target containing only the Constructor resource file, the linker complains about a missing __startup__ routine. How can I create with CW 9.3 a resource DB containing only UI resources? Must the type be 'rsrc' or other? -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
