Re: PalmOS Source Code

[David Fedor]

Fairly large portions of the Palm OS sources are available once 
you've logged in to the pavilion on palmos.com.

BTW the license makes it quite clear what's allowed and what's not, 
so my strong recommendation to the original poster would be to read 
the license that they signed to get access in the first place.

 Am I allowed to, say, grab a copy of the PalmOS 4.0 source, take a
copy of
 FrmHelp, and tweak it for my own use?  I really don't like the use
of a bold
 font in that field, among other things...

 Do I have to mention somewhere where I got the things from?  All of
the /*
 */ comments above the two functions remain intact (with a changelog
entry
 above FrmHelpCustom), and the copyright messages appear as well.
It's for a
 commercial piece of software... hmm.

 Here are my changes:

 // The function declaration...
 void FrmHelpCustom (Char *titleStr, UInt16 helpMsgId, FontID fontID)
 // ... and from here...
  formP = FrmInitForm (HelpForm);
  FrmSetTitle (formP, titleStr); // Part 1: Change of title.
  helpStr = DmGetResource (strRsc, helpMsgId);
  fldP = FrmGetObjectPtr (formP, FrmGetObjectIndex (formP,
HelpField));
  FldSetFont (fldP, fontID); // Part 2: Change of fonts.
  FldSetTextHandle (fldP, helpStr);
  FrmSetActiveForm (formP);
  FrmDrawForm (formP);
 // ...to here.
 Nothing else in the function was changed.
