I'm trying to use WinDrawTruncChars in my program, to draw strings
shortened with "..." on the end as needed. But I'm seeing something
bad: on Palm OS 3.1 it draws a garbage character at the end instead of
the "..." ellipsis character. On 3.2 and 3.3 it works correctly.
More detail: on a Palm V device this garbage character is the little 'no
such character' square symbol; but on POSE the error is consistently
0xD5 (chrCapital_O_Tilde), which is suspiciously equal to the byte value
POSE fills uninitialized memory with.
So I'm wondering, if this API is indeed broken on 3.1, or if I need to
"help" it by poking the ellipsis character into a low memory global
somewhere (yeah right) or something else I'm missing?
