Thanks Ben, I think this is NOT what I basically want to do. I don't want to sell my PRC file.
What I want to develop and deliver is something like a dll/API. Just like the "CameraLib" we have at "Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\Palm OS Support\Incs" path. I just want the developers to see the Header file that he/she can include and use. I want to hide the actual implementation of the function. Is there a way I can create dll or is there any way I can accomplish what I wish to? I hope I made myself clear here in terms of what I wish to achieve! Please reply, Thanks, Keyur. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Combee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 12:19 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: RE: Distributing Library!

I just wanna make sure that my >code in the library is secure that way! No, PRC files aren't secure. The code is readable in 68K assembly; if it were not, it couldn't be executed on the device. It you want to try to copy protect the library, there are papers on that topic available online. -- Ben Combee, DTS technical lead, PalmSource, Inc.
