Pls Help : Armlet Problem (newbie)

[mike]

hey guys, i'm quite new to programming (specially in palm os) and i'm having 
problems in creating armlets.  

i'm using palm os developer suite and i tried creating a standard make  68k pno 
c/c++ project and used the simple application template (or should i say a 
sample application). without editing the program yet, it crashed on my pda.  i 
noticed that it crashed inside the PceNativeResourceCall function because 
DmGetResource doesn't return anything. i included the code of the 
PceNativeResourceCall below for reference.


//PceNativeResourceCall()

static UInt32 PceNativeResourceCall(DmResType resType, DmResID resID, char* 
DLLEntryPointP, void *userDataP)
{
  UInt32    processorType;
  MemHandle armH;
  MemPtr    armP;
  UInt32    result;

  // get the processor type
  FtrGet(sysFileCSystem, sysFtrNumProcessorID, &processorType);
        
  if (sysFtrNumProcessorIsARM(processorType))
    {
    // running on ARM; call the actual ARM resource
    armH = DmGetResource(resType, resID);
    armP = MemHandleLock(armH);
        
    result = PceNativeCall(armP, userDataP);
                        
    FrmCustomAlert(1000, "PceNativeCall successful", 0, 0);
                        
    MemHandleUnlock(armH);
    DmReleaseResource(armH);
    }
  else if (processorType == sysFtrNumProcessorx86)
    {
    // running on Simulator; call the DLL
    result = PceNativeCall( (NativeFuncType*)DLLEntryPointP, userDataP);
    
    FrmCustomAlert(1000, "PceNativeCall successful", 0, 0);
    }
  else
    {
    // some other processor; fail gracefully
    ErrNonFatalDisplay("unsupported processor type");
    result = -1;
    }
        
  return result;
}

//end of PceNativeResourceCall


this calls the PceNativeResourceCall function

result = PceNativeResourceCall('ARMC',0x1000, "test.dll\0PNOMain", inputData);



what seems to be the problem here and what should i do?    

thanks in advance!!!
