Compiler error "resource not found".



Q. I keep getting the compiler error 'resource not found' when I add the
   line 'resource  ui-object' to my .GP file.

A. That is because a resource (in GEOS) defines a segment of memory
   (which contains data or objects) used by your application, not a routine
   name (nor an object name).  These resources are managed by the memory
   manager and can be moved around in memory or swapped out to storage if
   they are not being used.  In the source code, you define a resource with
   the @start /@end  directives (for example,
   Hello.goc has the resource AppResource).  See section 5.4.3.2 of the
   Concepts book (Concepts\CCoding.txt) for more information on declaring
   segment resources and chunks (chunks define smaller sections of segment
   resources).
