So would it as simple as to just set the value in the source code after I
read in the bitmap family or do I have to do something else to make it work?

palm owns the trademark 'palm' - and, if your application is pda
specific, you'll be violating this trademark. palm trees do not
voliate this trademark as it is a different business area. you
might want to look up trademark issues a bit :)
but, if you have a palmos program called "PalmProgram" - they
have to get on your case about it to protect their trademark
and copyrights.
just change the name? whats the big deal?
