I've written a hack that provides Esperanto support on the Palm.  This
involves modifying the behaviour of the WinDraw... calls to display the
accented characters, the Str and Txt calls to implement the correct sorting
order for Esperanto, plus assorted other calls to add support for Graffiti
entry of Esperanto characters.

I've just found out that SysSetTrapAddress is no longer supported in Palm OS
5 (even though it's still in the Palm OS Reference - why is that?) and that
we're supposed to use "notifications" instead.  Since none of these
notifications seem to have much to do with any of these functions (or for
that matter with any input or user-interface related events), does anyone
have any suggestions how I'm supposed to do this for OS 5?

Incidentally, it's not just a simple matter of installing a new font, partly
because legacy Esperanto encoding systems involve translating digraphs (e.g.
cx) into single accented characters, and partly because of the sort order
issues.

Cheers,


Matthew
