Yes it is possible to have definitions for multiple devices in a single resource file. In the past I have concatinated two together, but I wouldnt recomend it for two reasons :-

1. There's no guarantee that it will work again
2. When runform runs a .frm file it has to read the whole of the resource file to find out what it needs. This takes time and will slow your application.

Stick to separate resource files.
