The wizard should be able to work, you just need to use a non-Object Library target.

Any idea how I can get the library? Or in lieu of the files, where I can find a simple howto, that explains how to get a sample app to run.. I'm willing to buy a book if neccesary. (I ordered the networking book already, and am reading the Palm Developers Companion you recommended). (I take it the wizard is completely hosed now?) Freecell has offered to let me return the software. Being that I'm not getting any support, and it's partly broken, I am tempted to take them up on the offer. Is CodeWarrior still the number one choice for the foreseeable future? Someone should really pick up these EOL products and run with them, if Freescale isn't interested. (Maybe even Palm) Cheers, Brian P.S. - It looks like Adobe got hit also, as Codewarrior 9.3 for Mac is needed to develop Creative Suite 2 plugins.

This error is because of licensing... CW for Palm OS V9 orignally shipped with a C++ class library called Object Library for Palm OS (POL). Metrowerks had a license to ship it for several years, a license that ran out. The currently shipping copy of CW for Palm OS doesn't include POL, but since they didn't have any engineering resoruces to rework the wizard, it still references it. I suspect they just ripped out files and remanufactured the CD. Grrrr. You can use the wizard to make a new app, but you can't use any of the Object Library for Palm OS targets. Sorry. BTW, there are a number of network commands built into Palm OS. On the Treo, go to Preferences, then go to Network. Then use the Menu key to choose "View Log". This is actually a command line window, and you can type "help" to see the built-in commands. On my Treo 700p, I've got "ping", "finger", and several others. You can add commands by creating "command-line apps" which have type 'sdio' and use the StdIO provider.
