Hi Chris, Well, your "past experience" is spot on - I was hired for my C experience (Windows and Unix), but all my effort has been focused on getting the Development Environment to work right. I'm about 4 weeks into it and finding the going VERY slow as every aspect of the project is foreign to me except for the C code. I will forward your e-mail to my client and he may very well consider contacting you to develop the project. I agreed to the project because it was supposed to be just maintenance, but then Palm.Net went down and the tool has to be re-written. I was already "on-board", so it fell to me.
Upgrading CodeWarrior involves also upgrading the development machine I was given, so it's more than just the money for the product. I may be out of my league here, but I want to see if the system I described can be made to work. I think it should, but my understanding is limited. Thanks for the offer.
