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?
The PRC format is consistent among all versions of Palm OS, at least for 68K applications. To run on older versions, you need to make sure that you don't call new APIs without first checking the OS version, and you need to include low-density bitmaps in any bitmap families you use.
