Isn't that a little exaggerated? This mailing list is packed with folks who give freely of their time and energy to help others. There are lots of code examples in various places. For advice and snippets, you can search through the back articles on http://www.escribe.com/computing. For fully released packages, you can go to http://www.palmopensource.com. If you have a specific question, ask and it'll likely be answered. I for one don't have time or inclination to package up all the code I've ever written on the off chance that it'll be of some value to anyone. I'm not being precious about it, I just don't want to waste my time doing something that may/may not be of some value. OTOH, if you do have some code to share, please consider going to the palm dev FAQ and posting it there. http://www.flippinbits.com/paldevfaq Thanks. -Ken --- PalmOS Certified Developer http://www.flippinbits.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
