Hi,
Please mail me a copy of the documentation (what functions are
included,...).
I will then put it onto my blog at http://tamspalm.blogspot.com when I have
time. Actually, I prefer source code files for one simple reason: I am using
the OnBoardC development environment (PODS didn�t work well with my brains).
Best Regards
Tam Hanna

That would be great! I should add that the license isn't exclusive at 
all. My choice of that license was based on my impression (I am not a 
lawyer!) that it was not copyleft and does not require any credit in 
shipping applications or documentation. I wanted to use this in both 
closed-source and open-source applications I write.

Well, I was actually testing the pages as I was making them against 
Firefox on Windows and Safari on the mac, so I'm not sure what's going 
on there. (Contact me via email if you want as we should probably try to 
keep website issues off here; my address is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...)

It's just a collection of source files. There's a Codewarrior project to 
build it as a static library for the linker (not a Palm OS dynamic 
library, just a linker library), but it's probably better to include the 
files directly. I use the library, but only to make sure it keeps 
working. I am not a big fan of libraries; the other day, I spent four 
hours fixing a bug I'd already fixed because I forgot to rebuild the 
library after changing the source code. More trouble than they're worth 
90% of the time.

People are welcome to snip small pieces out of it (not like I could stop 
them, even if I wanted to, and I don't want to), but I expect every 
function in there to get more debug-build only checks at some point. And 
there are probably at least a couple bugs in there. So it might be 
better to try to use the code directly for easy updating later.
