I found an answer:
m68k-palmos-objcopy -O binary -R .data -R .bss compiledCode code0000.bin
The output file name (code0000.bin) needs that number in it to force it into being a
code resource with an id of 0.
Then build-prc can be run win code0000.bin as an input. Also the entry point function
can't have any string literals in them
because they will usually be placed before the function. So the entry point funciton
will have to call another function which
contains strings if they are required.
