1. Check for updates for CodeWarrior. If you have a slow, dial-up connection, the download of the update could take hours, so consider making a friend with a high speed connection, or find a local internet cafe (or a copy/print store with computers that can be rented by the hour) that allows you to burn CD-ROMs on their computers or that permits a USB port drive to be used. (Public libraries may have high speed connections, but tend to frown upon burning CDs or loading files onto USB port drives. They also can place strict time limits on use.) You can always use your own computer and internet connection first to confirm the size of the update for your version of CodeWarrior and the size of the emulator file before you make any other arrangements relative to your modem speed needs for final download.
2. Palm has an emulator download that is fairly simple to set-up to run with CodeWarrior. If you are just getting started, I suspect that it will be the preferred approach. It is very nice to be able to use the emulator with it set for a fresh start (no unwanted/old application created files in memory) each time, if you are debugging. It can also be time consuming to download, so you may wish to time any trip to a high speed internet site in a manner that permits you to download both the Palm emulator files and the CodeWarrior updates at once. 3. The Palm OS Developer Kit is presented as the future for Palm development, given CW's end of life cycle situation. You might want to give that some thought before you commit yourself to CodeWarrior. PODS should be happy under XP. (It's the thought that counts, right?) 4. Read a little bit about conduits under Palm OS and consider this in light of your potential needs before you invest a lot of time in development for Palm OS, if the additional requirements relative to conduit development for Windows AFTER the Palm OS program is written could necessitate an investment of your time in excess of what you regard as realistic, or require additional software and setup expertise in which you may not wish to invest your time and money. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kaiser, J.

My daughter got me a copy of Codewarrior 6 for Christmas. It seems to need a serial connection to my Palm Tungsten/E to check the code. I have a USB cable, but the IDE only gives me a choice of COM 1-4. Any suggestions?
