Well, seeing as: - Not a single OS 5 device has shipped yet (nor has the non-prerelease SDK or emulator for that matter!)
- Even after they do ship, they won't be come the norm for another few years (Note that the Treo, which won best of comdex, and was just released runs OS 3.5 for pete's sake!) - In its initial iteration OS 5 won't support ARM compiled apps, and 68K will still be the norm as far as the palm platform goes. ... I'd say that you're probably safe in learning 68K assembly for the next few years. Besides, once you learn assembly language for one processor, learning it for another is more of the same than not. - Max On Thursday, May 2, 2002, at 01:02 pm, Dave Lippincott wrote: > You should be able to get all the docs you need from Motorola.
