I'm doing just fine, thanks, producing a 32K binary and assorted .pdb
resource files up to 320K in size all from the same set of Makefiles.
But I haven't tried ROMs beyond PalmIII and don't know whether they
work.
Xcopilot crashes maybe once every couple of hours. But in a year the
OS, editor, compiler, debugger and the rest of the suite of programs
comprising my "IDE" have not crashed once. And of course when the
emulator does crash it takes nothing with it. I relaunch it and 10
seconds later I'm back to work.
