In CodeWarrior, there is a limit of approximately 2800 resources per
resource file. From the CodeWarrior for Palm Computing platform FAQ
http://www.metrowerks.com/pda/palm/faq:

7.7 I am working on a project with a huge number of resources. When I try to
build the project, CodeWarrior consistently gives me these link errors:
"Link Error: Error while creating/copying resource fork. Link Error: Error
while saving resources." What is going on?

The MacOS has a limitation of approximately 2800 resources per file. Since
the Palm OS tools use the MacOS 68K linker as well, this limitation applies
to both Mac- and Windows-hosted Palm OS tools. This number may be larger or
smaller depending on certain factors, but as soon as your reach this limit
you will encounter a link error. When a Palm OS application is linked
together, all the resource files are brought into one file. If that final
file has too many resources, the link will fail due to the limitation above.
Be aware that a resource is created for every UI element on a form, so you
should check the total number of UI elements in your application do not
exceed this limit.
