The porting continues. I'm taking notes, and am probably going to go back and write some patches to prc-tools to fix the mess I've encountered (mostly, lack of all the standard C functions which my calculator's C compiler has but prctools somehow doesn't.)
You have read the prc-tools documentation and seen the library and header that comes with that tool, as opposed to the standard Palm OS SDK, right?
Anyways, current issue: send a random binary file to the simulator as a stream so that it can be opened with FileOpen. I've tried using prc-build, but despite the existance of a --stream option it seems to be not at all suited to the task; what it generates is completely the wrong type of DB.
So, what tool *is* suitable for generating streams?
The utility 'par' has an option to produce file stream databases from a file on the local system. See http://www.djw.org/product/palm/par/
