FYI if you download the full Cygnus install (not the usertools only one)
from the www.palmos.com site (part of the set required to run Palm
PRC-Tools) you'll get gcc, gdb etc. for Windows 95/98/NT. The link
should be easy to find.
Please note: This is NOT the retargeted Palm compiler that comes in the
PRCTools archive, but gcc ported to Windows (so of course if you install
both you get two sets of gcc, one for Win, one for Palm). Errrm, hope
that made sense!

I can't find the NT URL with the brief search right now. Part of it is
at
http://linux.fh-heilbronn.de/~christ/pilot-xfer/
The main site (which is busy) but has the source is:
ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
I've compiled it successfully wingnu (GCC for Windows)
sourceware.cygnus.com or somewhere (redhat bought cygnus and my link
is slow and I don't have a bookmark). A good search engine might also
be able to find it (or ask again later if you can't).
However given the explanation, I need to ask what model of the Palm
you have since a Dragonball EZ has a background mode. It would be
expensive in terms of tech time, but you can basically reset the
processor and extract every bit of memory in the background without
touching anything else. You would need to contact someone at palm.com
or motorola for instructions, but if this is a legal type issue it
might be worth it.
