[Pgui-devel] gdbm and more

2001-08-07 Thread Micah Dowty
A quick search on Sourceforge for "gdbm" reveals two more projects that may work for database support: Trivial Database and Super Simple DBMS. If there are any small hierarchial databases, I wouldn't know where to look. -- Only you can prevent creeping featurism! _

I agree. XML and vCalendar both have their shortcomings: XML is bulky, and vCalendar isn't flexible. I took a look at the latest gdbm release. It's 5589 lines of C (not including headers) which compiles to a 31867-byte libgdbm.so on PowerPC. It should be similar size on MIPS, and smaller on x8

I tried demo.c, but can't reproduce this bug. Make sure you have the latest pgserver and client library. If it still doesn't work, let me know exactly what CPU, theme, and resolution you are using. On Tue, 07 August 2001, Olivier Bornet wrote: > > Hello all, > > the last version of PicoGUI s

Yep. I developed much of PicoGUI on a 486 laptop only slightly more powerful than these systems, and we're targeting the uCsimm that is slower than these systems. The lack of Vesa 2.0 brings back memories... The 486 had Vesa 1.2, so no framebuffer device. That's why I wrote the svgalib driver i

Hello all, the last version of PicoGUI server crash when we put scrollbar in a pgDialogBox(). It seem to depend on the size of the box which have the text we want to scroll. Attached is a sample (derived from demo) which has the problem. If you look at lines 28 to 31 : - putting the line with P

hello; i'd suggest that Tasnim is on the right track wrt to the storage medium on the device. but, i think the problem needs to be segmented a bit. the *repository* should be viewed separately from the representation/wire transmisson protocol. xml is full of beauty, but it's comparatively ineff

Tim, Original development of PicoGUI was done on a 486-33 laptop. When Micah demonstrated it, it was more responsive to me than my P-133 laptop in windows. He was using svgalib with gpm with slackware. Odds are, you will get very nice machines out of the deal. Cheers, Brandon --- "Gray, T

I was wondering if anyone has ran PicoGUI on anything as low power as a 386-25. My company has a few waterproof-freeze proof touchscreen computers that were used for freight tracking and are now sitting in a closet unused. I have been able to get gpm to talk to the touchscreen and I have a basic l

Hello: I got my Helio (a PDA) from a company designing a framework for it, but they could not manage to fit it on 2MB ROM and 75 MHz MIPS processor, while PicoGUI seems fine on same hardware. There we had a complete XML based framework while UI was also based on XML and rendered by a java based
