So I have this program that has to do TCP/IP and also run one or more
periodic functions that typically are run every half second.
The documentation says that the processor goes into doze mode if you tell
EvtGetEvent() to wait forever (wait of -1). I assume this means that if I
give EvtGetEvent() anything but -1, the processor does not go into doze mode.
This tells me that my application will suck the life out of a Palm for the
entire time that my app is running, because I can't sit in EvtGetEvent()
forever -- I have to wake up to run my periodic functions, and I have to
check for I/O (see my earlier question about why NetLibSelect() isn't
working as advertised).
1) Is there any way to explicitly put the processor into doze mode for a
set amount of time that is less than one second? In other words, I know
about AlmSetProcAlarm().
2) If I ever get it working, will NetLibSelect() also put the processor in
doze mode if I give it a wait time of -1?
3) Any brilliant ideas on how I could save power in this situation without
getting rid of my periodic functions that might need to run mroe than once
a second?
Yours for good Palm citizenship,
