Staz,

I find having 3 external rsrc files (1 for graphics, 1 for STR# & Styled 
TEXT and 1 for Snds & Music) during the "Programming" very convenient .. 

And with FB^3 installing the resources of these Externals into a "Built 
Program", the program ends up as one big Program without "Satellite" rsrc 
files .. An Outstanding improvement over FB II

BUT .. You just brought up a point that I "Don't Grab" 

> If you call changed resource 10
>times on a single resource, then you have 10 entries for that resource

Is this the number of times the Program uses the resource 

Or is this if the program actually makes a physical change to a resource 

'Cause if it Is the number of times the Program uses the resource I'm 
going to be In A World Of Hurt ;-(

BTW : That 2127 .. Is that a limit on a single resource .. such as PICTs

Or is that a grand total limit of all the resources in a file combined

AND .. Does this limit pertain to the rsrc file during programming only 

or is it the grand total limit of resources that a Built Program can have
