Yes, Ive been able to run the application successfully on palm OS 4.1
emulator as well as the other versions with no problems, up until I get to
palm OS 5. At palm OS 5, when gremlins are run it goes into an infinite
loop. On 5.2 it comes up with form.c, Line:5696, Bad form.
I found the form it was talking about, and the only thing on that form is a
bitmap image, nothing is modified as the screen only shows for about 2
seconds. The image is placed on the screen within the bounds, and ends
within the bounds of the designated area(it is all visible). --works fine
with palm os 3.2, 3.5, 4.0,4.1,4.2...
Thanks! -- form code follows
Pilrc code....
FORM ID SPALSH_FORM AT ( 0 0 160 160 )
NOFRAME MODAL NONUSABLE
BEGIN
TITLE "Quit program"
FORMBITMAP AT (0 14) BITMAP IMG_SmokingGuyBMP
END
BITMAPCOLOR ID IMG_QuitGuyBMP "YOUCAN.bmp" NOCOLORTABLE COMPRESS

Bad Form errors occur when something's wrong in the form, and the debug
code can't verify it. This usually happens when you modify values in the
form through buffer overruns; for example, setting a label on a control
that's longer than the space allocated for the label in the
resource. Having the form's memory allocation be out of sync with the
number of items in the form can also cause this.
Can you run your application using POSE, with all debug checks on and a
debug version of the 4.1 ROM?
