You can look at the following session from Palm Source for creating overlays
(towards the end of the presentation). Once you have one done you do not
have do anything in your application to make it work (there are a couple of
things to watch out for covered in the slides). Essentially, if the OS

I agree with Aaron that overlays are not useful for creating localized
versions of non-ROM-based apps.
a) You really don't want the user to install multiple binaries, too
confusing.
b) Memory is still precious, as expansion cards are so poorly supported.

Does anyone know how the checksums for the overlay resource are calculated?
What is the formula? Can I mimic it by creating it on the Palm itself?

But how do I calculate the following value, which is declared as

How do I put all the overlays[].checksum together

You can do chain checksumming by feeding each checksum as a seed to the next
call to the checksum routine (and starting at zero).

Hello,
I, too, am unable to get palm localization working through overlays.
I use codewarrior 6 and PRC2OVL for Palm OS 3.5 to build the app and

DmGetResource(), and writes them to the memo pad.

EFIGS + Dutch, which would mean editing 6 overlays everytime the

You may want to consider using the RsrcEdit utility (you'll find this on

If an overlay isn't getting opened automatically by the OS, then it's
