Hello Curtis,
I did a port of a game I wrote in Palm OS 3.1 to Palm OS 3.5 and it seemed
to work OK for me. Here's what I did:
1. Replace <Pilot.h> with <PalmOS.h>
2. Add <PalmCompatibility.h> - saves me the trouble of having to go through
and rename each data type.
I had to rename some resource names when I switched to using Bitmap and Icon
Families but other than that it went pretty smoothly. Hope this helps!
Rgds,
