On the Palm, the IR Library provides a basic IrDA stack. You can use it to build support for higher level IrDA protocols like IrComm, IrOBEX, and so on. Most developers use it to build support for high level Irda protocols which are not already supported in the Palm Roms (ex. add Irda printing to 3.0 Palm units). The Exchange manager encapsulates the IrDA IrOBEX (Object Exchange) protocol. It is targeted at exchanging blocks of data between peer units. Presumably Palm made it a little abstract from IrDA so that apps could use the exchange manager to send and receive data over new communications mechanisms as they become available (ex. Bluetooth equipped Palm units). -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Krausse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 9:46 AM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: What is the difference between the Exchange Manager and the IR Li brary?
