if you are still deciding what compiler to use (gcc or MW) or
you are confused about all of this.. consider it this way:
all PalmOS calls are performed using SystemTraps
a system trap is like a callback - or best put.. a function who's
address is stored in an interrupt table in ROM.
if you use gcc, or CW or another OTHER development tool - and
your program does not work.. then it is one of the following:
1) you screwed up big time with your code
2) the API calls are not doing as YOU interpret.
there was a time where i thought the compiler had something
to do with the API implementations.. but then i read the
manual (old RTFM here)..
your compiler and environment is a personal preference...
neither is better from each other (depending on your view).
some API documentation is pretty bad.. like the message
"partial string matching" should not have passed a evaluation
test (of the manuals).. it should have said "string matching
beginning of another string".
but with pressure.. demand.. not everything can be checked.
so we live with it.
cheers.
