There is no sscanf equivalent. I would assume most Palm OS programmers
write their own parsers, going a character at a time. I know that, along
with some help from API calls like StrStr, is what I've used to parse
strings in Palm OS apps in the past.

If you're using CodeWarrior for Palm OS, you need to add an access path to
the standard library. For CWPalmOS V8, add a system access path pointing
to "{Compiler}(MSL for Palm OS)". If you're using V7, MSL is stored
somewhere in "Palm OS 3.5 Support" folder, but the untested C library
headers is in "{Compiler}MSL".

This header for standard I/O provider applciations and doesn't have general
use for most apps... this interface was mainly written to support the
network applets you can invoke from the Network Log window of the
Connection pref panel.
