Ben,
First of all, I have no idea why the sample suggests that you check for the
feature first. There's even a knowledgebase article that makes the same
suggestion, again with no reason. Also, the function in INetLow that checks for
the version feature is straight out of the Activation application on Palm VIIs.
So there's a lot of consistancy for taking that approach, but with absolutely no
explanation.
Second, I have no idea why INetLib would not be installed under some
circumstances. That library is installed in a Palm OS function called
SysUILaunch, which is part of the boot-up sequence. I see that occuring in Palm
OS 3.2 and 4.0 -- I imagine that in between versions install it, too.

Subject: Detecting INetLib using Features
I'm using code to detect the existance of the Internet Library based
partially on the detection code in the INetLow example. This looks for the
inetLibFtrCreator/inetFtrNumVersion feature, aka 'inet', index 0. This
works always on the Palm VII/VIIx. However, on my Omnisky/Prism combo, this
often fails to work. It seems that whatever code that OS has that registers
this feature isn't always executed.
Has anyone else seen this? Should I just abandon this method and go
strictly based on loading the "INET.LIB" shared library, or would the
unregistered feature indicate I'd have other problems invoking INetLib. Oh,
if anyone else is trying to develop for the Prism/Omnisky combo, are you
also have big stability problems?
