I am in the process of writing a desk accessory. Like most DAs, this
one has lots of its own resources. I have several ALRT and DLOG template
resouces.
Question: Does the Font/DA Mover update the ID in the ALRT and DLOG
templates that point to the associated DITL resources? If not, how have
people gotten around this small problem?

Yes. Tech Note #23 ("Life with Font/DA Mover -- Desk Accessories") states that the Font/DA Mover (version 3.3 and later) will automatically change the following embedded resource IDs: * references to DITLs in DLOGs and ALRTs * references to ICONs, PICTs, and CTRLs in DITLs * the menuID field of MENU resources * references to MENUs in MBARs Now a question: is there any way to put an icon in a DA's menu? Menu icons are specified by resource id in an eight-bit field, where the value of the field is the resource id of the ICON minus 256. Clearly this won't work if the ICON is an owned resource, with an id number thousands less than zero. Is there a reasonable work-around? Jim Matthews Dartmouth Software Development
