Yes, it should be. Are you testing in the right way? From the PalmOS Companion (http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/palmos/SerialCommunication.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To check whether you can use the new Serial Manager API, check for the existence of the new Serial Manager feature set by calling FtrGet as follows: err = FtrGet(sysFileCSerialMgr, sysFtrNewSerialPresent, &value); If the new Serial Manager is installed, the value parameter is non-zero and the returned error is zero (for no error). To check for the existence of version 2 of the new Serial Manager, you should check both the Serial Manager version number and the Palm OS version number as follows: err = FtrGet(sysFileCSerialMgr, sysFtrNewSerialVersion, &value); err = FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumROMVersion, &romVersion); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On PalmOS Garnet Simulator, T3 Sim, T5 Sim and TX Sim I get a value of 1 for sysFtrNewSerialPresent and 2 for sysFtrNewSerialVersion.
