Oh, is there anything special I need to do when I compile my programs
to ensure that my programs will run on older devices? I use
prc-tools. Is there a -target command-line switch or something
similar to make sure the PRC file is in the correct format? Or more
to the point, is there a difference in the PRC format for different
versions of Palm OS?
There's no special switch to use. You just have to make sure that you
have used API calls that are supported on any version that you want your
app to run on. So that means reading the docs to see if any of the
functions warn about incompatible versions. The best advice is probably
to simply run your app on all the emulator versions that you want to
support, and see what happens. You'll find that it probably won't run
on the earliest OS versions, unless you have been careful from the
start. If you want to support a broad range of devices, then that
sometimes means rewriting your code, so as to avoid many of the nice,
new functions. Bob.
