- Well, I sympathize with you, because I've done the exact same thing, and

- This may seem like a picky point, but I don't think it's accurate to say
- that THINK C "overrides" the resources. The "creator" box in the "Set
- Project Type" dialog is how you tell THINK C what signature to use when
- it creates your application file. The BNDL, etc. resources that are
- contained within the file (and which THINK C merely copies in from your
- project's resource file) are not the same beastie as the signature on
- the file itself. Conceivably, a programmer might want them to be different.
- Besides, expecting THINK C to actually read the resource file to pick up
- the BNDL signature is probably asking too much of it.
