RE: CW6 - Where is OTARead Example?

[Conneely, Shane]

Has the otaRead example been updated and posted?, or has any other sample
app been released that demonstrates how to initialise and use the Inet
libraries?

Thanks

Shane

No, apps are perfectly capable of creating bugs on top of the most stable
API in the world, calling things in the wrong order, allocating buffers of
improper size, and so forth.

The otaRead application code was pretty simple, but relied upon a bunch of
code in a separate file (otaRoutines.c) which is sort of a simplifying
layer on top of the INetLib apis.  That's code that I cobbled together from
various pieces of test code, without complete understanding of all the
issues involved, since I know little about the comms mechanisms in Palm OS.

Due to the 3.5 stuff and PalmSource and so forth, neither Scot nor I had
time to make the code solid before the r6 deadline.
