Thomas Maeder asked:

I assume the limit you're referring to is the 9999/10000 limit. The Palm OS
Reference says:
"Note that resource IDs greater than 10000 are reserved for system use."
in the Data Manager Data Structures section. This isn't quite correct; it
should say "greater than or equal to". I'll mention this to our doc folks.

Not that I know of. Let me guess: you're programmatically creating
resources, right? I'd just define your own constant for 10000.
