1) Use CW9
2) Switch from using Constructor to pilrc
3) Use the alternate resource linker that comes with CW9
Apparently that eliminates the resource limit problem.
So far we've kept just under the limit by culling obsolete resources. I'd much rather have a fix for the standard linker than switching tools. However, that doesn't seem likely, so I'm going to have to convert my resources from RSC to RCP format and adjust to a new tool.

That is exactly what appened.
I've split the resource file and constructor does not complain anymore but it only transfer the problem to the linker.
Link Error: Error while creating/copying resource fork. Link Error: Error while saving resources.
I'm to power hungry or what? Is it the end of the grow of my application?
Palms are getting more powerfull with bigger memory. What good is that if we are so limited on the size of the application?
