Not sure if most, but it's one of the main development tools for PalmOS. > I am familiar with both Visual Basics and the syntax > of C++.

Most of the discussion on this list centers around C/C++ development (or PalmOS APIs in general), but there are other resources/forums if you go with another toolset. > Finally, what is the difference between the > Palm OS Emulator, and the Simulator? >From http://www.palmos.com/dev/tools/ : "The Palm OS Emulator is software that emulates the hardware of the various models of Palm OS platform devices on Windows or Mac OS computers." "The Palm OS Simulator is Palm OS 5 running native on a Windows machine. Currently it is the easiest and best way to test your application for Palm OS 5 compatibilty. " The actual simulator "homepage" has a section titled "How does it differ from the Palm OS Emulator?" http://www.palmos.com/dev/tools/simulator/ In general, it's probably a good idea to look around on the palmos.com site. There is an overwhelming amount of information and tools available, and lots of useful articles in their knowledgebase. Also sign up for the (free) developer program to get ROM images etc. Oliver Oliver __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
