mulitple rsrc files in xcode

Why don't you just get rid of the duplicates you don't want?

Right click on the resource you don't want and select the "Get Info" menu. Select the "Targets" tab. Uncheck the targets you don't want the resource to be bundled with.

Now I get you. Sorry, don't know how to do that.

Think of it as an inheritance hierarchy. I have the Superclass rsrc, and as subclass, and then a subclass of that. Each one over-rides parts of the previous. I need some way of representing that relationship in xcode.

I think of that as a serious design flaw. Resource files were never meant to be used that way, and as of roughly 8 years ago, they're not meant to be used at all. You're probably going to have to write your own build phase for this.

If I recall correctly, CodeWarrior would have generated duplicate resource warnings up the wazoo every time you built. I don't remember what MPW did, but suffice to say that this build system is too tightly coupled to one specific (discontinued) product to be readily portable. I had to maintain Think-C projects well into the early 00s so I can certainly commiserate, but if you want to move this over to Xcode this late in the game you're going to have to make some significant changes. I'd suggest factoring all the common resources out into separate files and creating new files to hold all the target specifics.
