Never used them, but got the Symbol tech guys to send them to me a while ago. We went to CW because: 1) didn't have symbol libraries readily available 2) "I" didn't know how to do multi-segmented apps with prc-tools/gcc, 3) we're a business...didn't need to F*K around with prc-tools anymore...proof-of-concept was done, my app was getting too big...basically prc-tools wore me out...and CW enabled us to easily get to the next step. The only probelm is our resource files remain in .RCP format and compiling/maintaining these with CW is a PAIN in the A*S.
You can checkout my symbol libraries for GCC. They're _probably_ the same one's you have. -- James Barwick_ _Sentient Health Japan KK_ _ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
