Yes, I think dataprv.h is no longer in Palm 3.5. I don't know why. What I did is I
look at dataprv.h, copy the structure defined in there to my program, simplify it and
use it. I change some variable typed structure to a generic datatype. I also have to
change (I think a lot) in the name of datatype so my program can run under Palm3.5.
Mainly, I use UInt8, Int8, UInt8*, Int8*, UInt16.. for all of my variables. Palm 3.5
doesn't support Ptr (CharPtr, MemPtr...) So you have to use Char*, MemHandle. There is
a header file you can include (*compatibility.h or st) but it doesn't cover everything
so I go ahead make the changes once.
If you use a good editor, it won't take too long to make all the changes. There is
some documents in Palm dev zone about Palm 3.5 that may help, too.
