I was just hoping .... I have been playing with the idea to implement something similar to the USB-TCP bridge, so the code in gdb would stay the same on Windows and Linux. The only published interface to the Palm USBPort.dll on Windows is what is in the Poser source as you pointed out a long time ago.

Well, I hope your solution (gdbserver ???) also works on non Windows platforms. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
