It sounds like your in a similar boat - except you started with AppForge instead of NSBasic. I just wish the learning curve was not so steep.

I had to put a splash screen up just you the user would know their palm had not died. Does anyone know of a website that has common palm C functions that could just take object ID's and do what you need... Maybe I could create such a site - but I would need help from real programmers to show me what my functions are doing wrong! :D Quoting David Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I weaseled into an AppForge project six months ago, and the here is my > two cents worth about it: > > runtime is indeed 350K! ...so I will never be able to free up enough > space on my Palm III to run any AppForge proggies. > > They "gave" me a Handspring Visor for the project, so I can at least run > the program on a real pda, but there is a noticeable lag time between > when you tap the icon and when the first screen shows up. > > One of the nice things is you can read and write PDBs from a desktop > application, which is great for making canned pdbs. > > no support for passing user-defined data types (read 'structs') to > functions. > > the widgets are all non-palm, but they are consistent, and only a couple > of them take a while to figure out (AFOwnerDrawGrid!). > > In my spare time I have been learning how to use pilrc and gcc; I like > it better though the learning curve is a little steeper. > > If I were starting from scratch tomorrow I would have gone with C, > PocketC, or NSBasic just to retain the wider potential client base that > might not be ready to part with their Palm III or V yet. > > (If only I could write Palm proggies in PERL!) > > David Martin > qrsparadigm.com > > -- Dustin Davis http://www.shiblon.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
