you might Falch.net for a relatively lower cost IDE. The learning curve for PRC-Tools/GCC is not otherwise trivial but is well worth it imho, as I have used it for a good while and was able to do everything I attempted, though some things (like segmenting applications) took a little bit to figure out.
Visual Studio will not readily create ARM or M68K executables, but I have understood that it should be (theoretically) possible use it as a front end to gcc...no idea at all how this would be done directly. regards, David M --- Tony Armstrong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > Thanks in advance for any help you all might be able to provide. > > I am a beginning Palm OS Developer.
