That's exactly the problem. I'm trying to check the compile date and time
from outside the code, so that the palm software can be kept in sync with
other software/data in our system. I need to be able to find the string
using other software and save it into a datafile, which can be verified by
the palm software later when it's running. That way updates can be sure that
they are running with the correct data.
My scheme was to originally have
_PDADATESTAMP
{
char Tag1[12];
char Date[50];
char Time[50];
};
_PDADATESTAMP pdaDateStamp = {"chrisbruner",__DATE__,__TIME__};
I find the tag fine, but the date and time are jumbled. Of course when the
palm software starts up it can see them just fine, which leads me to suspect
that the linker is compressing data, and the loader uncompresses when the
palm software starts. Normally a very nice feature, but in this case....

Can't you just call your app with own code that would return needed
information to the caller? Shall work (unless you want to check that
outside PalmOS)
