I am trying to create a set of modules all having the same interface (control panel, input and output ports), each generating some data set based on some specified behavior. I wrote a variant of the Imakefile/Makefile that mbuilder generates that creates a new module (say M), install the code in /usr/local/explorer/modules, and creates M.credits, M.help, M.mres as soft links to 3 files common to all the modules. Unfortunatly, the name of the module seems to be stored in the resource file and I am unable to load any of my modules. If I rename one module to the base name of the 3 common files, I can start the module in explorer. I looked at the content of my resource files and found several places where the module name is stored. I am willing to create separate instances of the resource file but want to automate that so that there is no need for the user to use mbuilder. So: 1) Is there a way to share resources between modules? 2) If not, what is the structure of a resource file, or what should I change in it to accommodate the new module name? Thanks.
