It also works on 9x. PalmOS 5.0 has an abstraction layer which allows the same code to run native on several different HW, including WinTel platforms. Note that unlike POSEr the code runs native, thus very fast and easily debuggable with a native debugger (pick yours). As Jim mentioned there is no Mac version of the simulator yet mostly because of the endianess issue. There is no technical issue with making such a version except that the OS must be made endian-agnostic. When we ported PalmOS to ARM we tried to be careful when removing Big-endian dependency not to introduce Little-endian dependency but this is not a straight thing and I am pretty sure that it would not work directly on a big-endian processor.
Your best way to ensure the widest compatibility is to test your app on both POSEr and PalmSim. Furthermore, PalmSim is a bringing some new features from POSEr making your debugger life easier. This includes a heap dump, event log, database dump, MUCH faster Gremlins and several other features. Check them out. Cordially, Regis. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Regis NICOLAS - Manager, Communication Software Palm OS 5.0 Technical Lead When the finger points to the sky, the idiot looks at the finger. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Lippincott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 11:20 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: OS 5 == High Development Cost?
