Hi Dave,  I posted source to the atari sources group awhile ago called DUBL_VIS
that is a disk formatter that runs as a program or an accessory.  You should
be able to get it from an archive server (although I haven't looked for it
myself...)

That program also has its resource built into the source code, so it can
show you how to use this trick.

What compiler are you using?  and what program are you using to get your
resource into source code form?  Many compilers require a different
startup routine linked in to compile a resource file.  Accessory startup
code for the Sozobon compiler was posted here about a month ago, its called
SOZOINIT.

Mail me if this is still totally confusing...
