You can assign "127-and-down" ID's, but Apple reserves the right to use such resources for special purposes (such as displaying version info in the "Get Info" window, or determining how much heap space to allocate when launching an app). As long as you know how these resources with "reserved" ID's are going to be used (which is usually documented in I.M.), then it's OK, and often useful, to create them yourself. - Rick
