I am trying to create a C++ project in CW v8.0 that uses the Palm OS 3.5
SDK. I downloaded and installed the 3.5 SDK from the www.palmos.com/dev and
installed it (i have tried this on both a windows machine and a mac). I am
running into difficulties when I am using the MSL support.
Is this correct? Where can I get MSL support for the 3.5 SDK?
do I need to
find a CW v7.0 CD and install that version of CodeWarrior in order to
support 3.5?
The big question would be -- why do you have to use the 3.5 SDK? Everything you can do
with the 3.5 SDK you can do with the 4.0 SDK.
