The Mac Resource Files field specifies the name of the file generated by the 68K linker that is converted into the Palm resource database, which represents our shared library. This field corresponds to the File Name field of the 68K Target panel (see Figure B-7, earlier in this appendix). Enter DBSLib.tmp in this field.

The Output File field specifies the name of the Palm resource database that will be generated and will ultimately reside on the Palm PDA. Enter DBSLib.prc in this field.

The Type field specifies the type of Palm application that is being created, and corresponds to the ResType field on the 68K Target Panel. Since this project is for a library resource database, enter libr in this field.
