Note that there are some routines Palm _really_ wants you to use, no
matter what version of Palm OS you're running under - for example,
the Text Manager routines. In those cases the PalmOSGlue.lib library
contains glue routines that either call through to the new routine
(if it exists), or execute code to do the right thing based on the
older OS version.
