Calling HostGetHostID was originally the way people were supposed to check
for this condition. However, only later did I realize that there was no way
for applications to determine if calling HostGetHostID was safe on pre-3.0
devices. The trap implementing HostGetHostID is always implemented when
running under Poser, but exists on the device only when running Palm OS 3.0
or later.
Therefore, I added the mechanism for testing the 'pose' feature, using the
Feature Manager API that exists on all devices. This is the preferred method
if you want to run on all devices and OS versions.
