From my own inspection, the only difference between the Palm OS Glue library in 4.0 SDK update 1 and 5.0 SDK is one function, BmpGlueGetNextBitmap. I think that was adjusted in the 5.0 SDK to handle the sentinel empty bitmap used in high-density bitmap families. PalmSource's seeding area has bitmap access code that's been released... PalmSource is supporting direct bitmap structure access for offscreen bitmaps using these compatibility headers. They aren't final yet, but have been stable for a couple of months. > > Has Plucker viewer been run through gremlins testing successfully > > using the Palm OS 5 Simulator? > >Let me know when Palm has provided a Palm OS 5 Simulator for Linux >and I will try it out ;-) From looking at the Simulator as a user, it looks like it might be a good candidate to run under WINE. Its not calling a lot of OS functions, just the set needed to provide a Win32 Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).
