create a custom resource. there are version resources that exist; namely 'tver' - you can add another tver resource. just give it another id. there is no "general" copyright resource. we used to include a copy right resource when we stripped a code segment from our application :) it effectively was code0007.bin - but, instead of loading it using the system - we loaded the actual code manually.. bit funky, but, it worked. -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
