One common cause of this is code in PilotMain, outside of the block executed on sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch. During the cleaning phase, the sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify launch code is sent to the app, as installation is considered a change of the app database. You don't have globals in this launch, so global variable access will fail, as will things like inter-segment function calls.

RE: Creator ID to use for a tutorial...
I'd like to jump in on this, speaking as an occasional developer of PalmOS apps and a long-time user of Palm hardware. What is the primary function of Creator ID's? When all else is put aside, the most important thing that a Creator ID does is to pull together the files belonging to an app into a single entity. Thus, when one uses the Palm's Delete function to delete a no longer needed app, the OS also deletes any additional files (databases, etc) which are associated with the app by nature of having the same Creator ID. This means that using a random series of characters, or any non-registered sequence, runs the risk - slight though it may be - that when your test app is deleted it may also take out other unintended files as well. This is not a problem if the only device the test app is installed on is your own, but if you intend to distribute to even a samll number of users I think using a registered ID is the only correct way to go. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of P.

Re: No of records
My question on how many allocations should have been restated to ask What is the maximum total heap for a given application I'm not clear as to whether 64K is the total heap for a given app or whether its the largest single call one to make to allocate memory. I'm using malloc,free right now which I think in CodeWarrior is mapped to MemPtrNew, MemPtrFree and probably the same in GNU. I'm hoping this depends on the Device, an 8MB device would presumably over more usable heap than a 4MB device. Is MemSemaphore* functions are supported in all m68k devices. I'd need read/write access for the algorithm and would use heap for that as it would be variable. I can't seem to find any informationon MemSemaphore in Rhodes, McKeehan or Foster. Is this a 68K Palm OS function? Evidently this is a trick to get more memory and treat as dynamic on the Palm. What OS has this function, 3.5 and above. If I were to allocate the following blocks on a Palm would it be a problem? 12K 50K 15K 36K 16K 25K 62K Would the Palm let me do all these allocations in a single program run? Thanks for your help.

Only very experienced users, trying to figure out what cryptically named databases or preferences are. When I'm trying to clear out a machine with too little storage left, I'd like to not delete anything important. If I find a file created by 'ADBE', I might remember that's Adobe Acrobat, if I saw it not too long ago. Likewise 'Aple' and 'Apl2' are connected with the Apple II simulator. But 'KWPi' doesn't ring a bell, and 'strt' for IP Subnetter is tough to remember. The file manager on Kyocera 7135s could display databases grouped by creator, with the application name heading the group. I miss that. If you install two different applications with the same creator ID, the most recently installed one will overwrite the other during a hotsync. The creator ID is how the Palm differentiates between applications. (It doesn't use the file name or a digital signature). Unfortunately, no, HotSync won't overwrite an application unless the database name is identical. Applications with different database names but the same creator just confuse Palm OS. It's hard to recover from that situation without deleting both apps.

not sure about this one :)
puts on palmos historian hat
the creator id is used mainly for the application preferences; and, a
method of grouping common databases together as a single entity.
when you delete an application; it will also remove the preferences
for that creator id and any additional applications with the same creator
id - this is how it has been my understanding :)
its always best to have your own creator id uniquely - however, you can
make small changes to allow for seperately manageable databases
like level packs etc. (appear as seperate items in delete dialog).
palmos marks uniqueness via the filename only.
everything is a database; the database name is the unique identifier.
if you have two databases with the same name; only the last installed
will exist; as it would have overridden the previous database. this is why
on the developer list; we have suggested naming database files with:
{creator id}-name
allowing everyone to use the first four characters to ensure uniqueness.
these discussions went on back in 1999/2000 era - so, its a long way
back to search the archives.

Get hands-on time with ALP at PalmSource Developer Day
I just noticed that PalmSource is giving a day-long developers conference in San Francisco on Aug 16. The focus is on the new (yet to be released) ACCESS Linux Platform (ALP). It's part of the LinuxWorld conference but you can register seperately for the PalmSource Developer Day for $95: http://tinyurl.com/gmtg2 The sessions sound good if you're interested in getting a hands-on preview of developing for ALP: Introduction to ACCESS Linux Platform (ALP). This is a hands-on session that will describe the ACCESS Linux Platform (ALP) and details its open source architecture. PalmSource will also demonstrate ALP and transform a typical Hello World application into an ALP application ready for mobile device deployment. Attendees will run sample applications as well as have the opportunity to build one together as a group. Deep Dive into ACCESS Linux Platform (ALP). In this session PalmSource and attendees will take the ALP application from the Hands-On intro and add GUI controls with Glade, introduce special mobile device event handlers and show debugging an ALP application via Eclipse on the Simulator. Compatibility Station. A unique and special experience for attendees, PalmSource will invite Palm OS developers to try their existing applications on ALP and discuss compatibility strategies with onsite PalmSource engineers. Extending an ALP Application. In this final session PalmSource will add more features to the application from the Deep Dive Session, including accessing a SQLite database for information storage and retrieval. PalmSource will provide go-forward advice and guidance to help you plan and prepare your projects to support ALP. I understand that the July PalmSource Developer Newsletter will be coming out very soon with more information but since this is only a little over 3 weeks away I thought people who wanted to attend should have as much advance notice as possible so they can make reservations.

IBM has never released a Java VM for Palm OS Cobalt and probably never will.
