Is starting over even an option? ;) Backup anywhere? Are you trying to open it in Constructor? Which version? Do you have a hex editor around that you can look at the contents of the file in the .frk directory? Does it look like the data is still there? If the resource map in the .frk file

Just FYI, when you are in the project viewer, there will be a little dot in the far right column, underneath the icon of the bug. This indicates that debugging symbols are turned on for that source file. To turn it on or off, click in the column for the file you want to enable/disable. -E

Palm bitmaps are usually stored as part of your PRC or in a resource database. The PilRC source code, which is available at http://www.ardiri.com/index.php?redir=palmcat=pilrcsubcat=download Will show how assemble a PRC and how to do the Windows-Palm bitmap translation. The reverse processes

Why not ask something simple, like which is the best religion? :-) Both are good at what they do, they just do it different. There are people on this list writing real-world apps with CodeWarrior and Falch.net. You can ask questions about either and someone will likely answer them. So, both

Luc, If you are using CodeWarrior, that's an artifact of the way the original Constructor shifted the 32x32 MacOS icon resource to fit the Palm launcher. Some versions of PilotRez/PalmRez shifted the icon and some centered it along the x axis. If you build your app using CodeWarrior 9.2, it
