Hi Aaron Thanks goodness you are with us.
I know that you are reluctant to good old pilrc. But again, I don't want to re-invent the wheel, while for you that will be just a matter of several secs. The line resource is documented in Palm reference guide, however I couldn't find it in pilrc manual. Doesn't seem a good idea to add it ? And more... Can you allow comments and conditional stmts (#ifdef etc) inside a form body or elsewhere between BEGIN & END. Conditionals with pilrc are really great and it appears logical to use them without limitations. Michael P.S. There are some bugs in pilrc, but bug hunting in pilrc must be really annoying, so I better avoid mentioning them. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Ardiri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 16 November 2001 10:50 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: prc-tools on www.palmos.com (Was: Re: SYSTRAP(..) vs __attribute__ ...)
