Hello folks, One of the things my application does is create a report. The structure of the report is pretty trivial - it is basically consecutive lines of ASCII text. My application has, of course, means to view this report.
However, in many cases it makes sense to send this report to another device (which might not have my application installed) or to a PC. What is the proper way of doing that? The obvious thing that comes to my mind is to export the report as a memo. Then it could be viewed, beamed, HotSynced and whatnot. Unfortunately, there is a problem. Apparently, memos have a size limit of 4 Kb - and my report can be much larger than that. For instance 40 Kb is not very unusual, although it's a bit on the high side of what I expect. (I do realize that it must not exceed 64 Kb, or HotSync will have problems with it.) I could, I suppose, cut it into multiple parts, each not exceeding 4 Kb, and producing different memos for each part - but that's ugly. What other options do I have? Do I really have to write a special viewer for the Palm side and a conduit that converts the report into a text file on the PC side? Note that the user doesn't need to edit the report - only to view it. What is the standard way of viewing text of any size on the Palm? Is there any? I looked into something called "Web clipping" - but, first, it seems to have been discontinued and, second, it seems to rely on special compressed files that are produced from HTML files on the PC side - while my report is produced on the Palm side.
