sdk-1, 2, and 3.1 all come with include files only, but they are
not supplied with the libraries, so that the link step fails. So if
I install in /usr/local/palmdev/ the soft link
sdk -> sdk-2
then I need to copy (or make a soft link) of the 3.5 libs into
sdk-2.0/lib. If I do so, many of the 2.0 programs actually compile
and link successfully, since 3.5 is "mostly" backwards compatible
with 2.0, until I start using the Fpl* library in 2.0, which is not
present in 3.5. So I am forced to stick to 3.5 to avoid all that
trouble.

I have it, and it is 2.0 style, so I needed to modify it to get it to work
with 3.5. So I still need your help. Do you remember the type renaming
that must be done? Here are a few, but I am not sure I have gotten
everything correctly:
Word -> UInt16
DWord -> UInt32
Int -> Int16
UInt -> UInt16
Long -> Int32
ULong -> UInt32
Thanks.
