I'm an experienced Windows and WindowsCE programmer and I'm now porting
an application to PalmOS.
In the Windows environment, there is something called a version resource
which can contain a variety of information, including the application
version number in binary and text format, a description of the application,
general comments, and a copyright message.
The closest equivalent that I can find in the Palm world is the VERSION
statement in the .RCP file which has become <APP_VERSION_RESOURCE> in
.XRD files. The only examples that I've seen place just a text format
version number in this resouce.
I'm curious whether it is appropriate to use a much longer string
including a copyright message or whether there is some other place
that a copyright mesasge should be stored.
In some apps that I've done, I just draw the copyright information on
the About screen using WinDrawChars().
I'm fairly sure you can put any text you want in a version resource,
but the launcher is only going to show a small part of it, like maybe
5 or 10 characters.
