Right. It was written as part of the Palm VII project (meaning Palm OS
3.2) but is actually more of a convention, sample code, and glue code to
make it all work. The things in there should work probably on a 2.0 system
on up, though I haven't done real tests to verify that.
Remember there are two different animals sometimes referred to as "stdio":
(1) routines to let you use a command-line interface to launch tools,
passing parameters through argc and argv, and (2) routines to emulate a
flat-file system on the Palm device, with routines that read & write a
given number of bytes from a named file of arbitrary length. (fprintf,
fgets, putc, etc.)
I believe what this thread was talking about was #1. If you're looking for
#2, that was added for 3.0 and is in the 3.0 SDK.
