However, CASLpro can. I would question whether having to write C code means CASL supports the whole API :-) It's not unique in that regard either. AFAIK both SF and NSBasic allow extensions to be written like that. However, using ifdefs to segment out the Palm specific code you can also

Anyway, I will look at all tools mentioned, but will likely push customers towards PalmOS. The PalmOS is definitely easier for end-users. For developers I'm not so sure :-) It seems that if one thinks ahead, the coding between the two can be *almost* the same... simply letting the compiler

I' wouldn't say 'very easy to learn' Well, I can only go by me experience :-) For one of my conference sessions on PalmOS programming I tried to write the same simple data entry app in several PalmOS dev tools. PocketStudio (a Pascal API level tool) was actually the easiest :-) Things like

1. I seem to like the PalmOS tools much better than the WinCE.Net stuff IMO, using the CF is a **lot** easier than any PalmOS tools. I really dislike PODS. I use PocketStudio for PalmOS work as it is far simpler to use, I still get API level control, and it has some nice wizards to

2. I have looked as CASLSoft for developing... Any comments or alternates? There are loads of alternatives. The PalmSource website listed most of them the last time I looked. There are not so many tools like that for the PocketPC world, but if you're prepared to go the .NET route as you

From: Jim Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] The PalmOS is very easy to learn, and I personally don;t think it saves much time using something like CASL or NSBasic. YMMV. I' wouldn't say 'very easy to learn', but I once trained someone who'd spent six months working in NSBasic and then needed to move

First of all, thanks to all who replied... I have spent 15 or so years programming in a 4th GL language called Dataflex (and then Visual Dataflex), so although it is similar in thought and infrastructure, the language itself is quite a diffence from VB... So like I said... be ready for plenty of
