Hi Everyone,
I'm new to PalmOS and would like to do some programming. I have only a little experence with C so I will be learning as I go. Can some of you seasoned PocketC user tell me anything that will convince me to go with PocketC as opposed to OnboardC which seems to have no support or Quartus Forth which I have already been evaluating and seems way too far over my head. I understand that PocketC requires a runtime for distributed applets and at this time don't see that as a limitation. I like the compactness of Pocketc programs as compared to OnboardC. I guess my problem is the idea that PocketC is considered by some to be a toy language. Can really useful things be done with it. Is anyone writing programs as shareware and actually making some pocket change with it? I also like the idea of being able to run the same applet on WinCE as I have some friends you use those platforms also.
I have some questions also.
1. PocketC doesn't support Doc format files at all correct?
2. How do you include a memo for multi-memo projects. I haven't been able to find that in the documentation yet.
3. Would I be able to fill in the gaps in my C knowledge by reading a generic C book and still be able to apply that to PocketC?
4. I have not yet spent much time looking, but can someone point me to a really good tutorial for PocketC.
5. Can RsrcEdit be used to create resources for PocketC programs?
I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks to all,
Tim
