Ken,
Thanks for the answers. Of course, this leads to more questions:
1) I have disassembled a .rsrc file successfully, edited it and tried to
compile it. It gives me no error, but does not seem to create a .rsrc file.
2) When I try to make using the .r file instead of the .rsrc file (added .r
to file mappings as TEXT) I get link errors "Error while creating/copying
resource fork" and "Error while saving resources"
Thanks for the help.
Steve O.

Which was followed shortly thereafter by a very similar post...

I believe there are still problems with using Constructor on Windows
with Japanese. I'm on a Mac, and Constructor + Japanese Language Kit
works fine.

Take your English .rsrc files, disassemble them into .r files, and
then add these to your project. Make sure that the Rez panel
character encoding option is set to 'Japanese'.
To disassemble a .rsrc using CodeWarrior, select the project target
that actually includes the .rsrc file (not a simulator build), and
then pick Rez as the compiler for resource files in the "File
Mappings" pref panel for CodeWarrior. You'd also want to enter
UIResDefs.r as the prefix in Rez's pref panel. Then hilight the .rsrc
file in your project and select the Disassemble command from the
Project menu.

There might have been some talk at PalmSource about a future resource
compiler that would be called something similar to 'Palm_rc'. There's
the pilrc resource compiler used as part of the GCC toolchain. I
think Neil Rhodes created a plug-in version of this for CodeWarrior.
I don't know if it correctly handles Japanese text - probably not,
since text measurement (for menus/pop-up triggers, and to support
pilrc's label alignment stuff) requires a Japanese font & knowledge
of how to use it.
