I went to the palmos dev page and followed links to prc-tools.  I followed
those instructions to the point where I got an illegal operation in the
final step.  That made me wonder about that process.

I don't find the tools hard to find.  I also don't find the setup hard to
follow.  However, what is lacking are the instructions that are the point
of my question.  That is, in previous versions, I had to do a lot of
modifications to make apps larger than 32K.  And this also required SEGMENT
definitions in my source.  Also, with a few of the early releases of SDK, I
had to restructure the folder structure for some reason.  And my header
files had to change from time to time.  So, I'm not sure how compatible my
current source is with newer tools.  They may work just fine but before I
start down that upgrade path, I'm trying to see what problems I might
encounter.

My primary concerns are with the >32K problem of old and my SEGMENT
definitions in my current source.

Also, I use an IDE that does not require me to use "make files" directly.
It would be nice if there was a straight forward test program that could
simply be executed, from the command-line (DOS shell), to test the setup.
