Multi-Segment w/ the Split-By-File Argument?

Hey all, I've written a multi-segment application, I think I've even answered a multi-segment question or two on this mailing list, but it's a confusing subject and now I have a multi-segment question of my own: has anyone had any success with the --split-by-file argument to the GCC linker? I

I agree that Palm OS development is a mess. However, it's interesting to note that, for our organization at least, Palm was the easiest mobile platform to develop for several years ago, mostly because of its Linux support. Windows Mobile development is pretty much impossible under Linux, for

Nice! It worked on a T5 and a Tapwave, although the T5 didn't have enough memory to render in color. Any tips on using these libraries with GCC and Peal? Henk Jonas wrote: Hi, during my ongoing Palm OS port of Xpdf (PalmPDF) I've also ported type1lib and freetypelib to Palm OS. Both are mad

I think you said you're using an array of characters: struct Record { char Ground[1]; }; If so, you also need to compare 'u' to the first character in the array, like this: if (aRecord->Ground[0] == 'u') { } Robert Moynihan wrote: Del Ventruella wrote: This

Re: DisplayMessage

FldInsert() only works on editable fields. For your situation, call FldSetTextPtr() instead. Also, I noticed your text field has scrollbars, so you're probably displaying lots of text, but if your text would fit on a single screen then you could use FrmCustomAlert(): ALERT ID InformationAle
