This thread is a shame. You called your selves Programmers, and doesn't know how to deal with a mess?
If you are so proud of beeing called a programer, first, you should learn how to use a web search engine, second, you should have the capabilities to deduct how things works, and thirth, you should learn about programming. In my particular case, I have been programming on PalmOS since 2003, with no former education, certification or seminars taken, and always found the way to do what I want to do, yes even asking of forums about how to do it, and always follow the so complex, but proven right, Zen of PalmOS. Stop complaining about it, you look like kids telling mom "Mikey doesn´t let me play 'cause I don't know how to play", learn, read, think, understand, or stop programming. "There is no place to go, for those who don't want to walk". No one said that C programming for PalmOS should be easy, but there are people like Ben Combee, Aaron Ardiri and so much more, even a not so experienced but willing to help programmer, me, that always try to help, and sometimes do help. That's a very good thing, and thanks to all of you that sometimes helped me.. Why not try to make a contribution to the PODS project, instead of just complaining about it, If someone of you wants to keep PalmOS alive, give a little help back to the PalmOS Development Community. As a proposition, why don't make a very good compilation of that so called hidden knowledge (how to do multisegments as example, that is not so hidded, 'cause i found how to do it on google), and stuff like that, one way to help PalmOS to still alive is to keep our selves programming and making so wonderfull and well programmed apps on this stable OS. If we do nothing the only thing that PalmOS will work for, is for its firt pourpose, a simple PDA. And please, stop that flames about PocketPC, Windows Mobile, and PalmOS powered devices, every platform has it's particular advantages and disadvantages. Those flames are a bigger shame.
