tinyBasic tinyBasic is just a developer's game, the development of a minimalist Basic interpreter for Palm by using iziBasic.
Tiny BASIC started out as a way to get a BASIC running in the minimum amount of memory space (~2 KBytes), because RAM used to be very expensive and home computers would only have a few KB of RAM back in the 1970's
JExpense2CSVFull JExpense2CSVFull - A Java Jar File to dump the built-in ExpenseDB.pdb of the Palm. It should be compatible with all kinds of Palm os. Up to now the file format of the ExpenseDB has not been changed. Export the Database using tools like pilot-xfer or backup Buddy. The labels of the columns are listed in the first line of the dumpfile
T3LedLib Allows developers to control Tungsten T/T3's green LED, and the undocumented and previously unused RED LED
Portabella Portabella is a basic serial communications program that sends and receives data through the serial port on your Palm OS device and displays the bytes in an easy-to-read format. You can effortlessly define transmit strings in hex notation and send them out with a click of a button. Portabella comes with complete source code and can be modified to fit your needs
Brainf*** Brainf*** is a programming language having only 8 instructions : < > [ ] . , + and - .
Yet, it is Turing complete, ie any program written in another language could be translated in Brainf***.
Brainf*** Studio is a PalmOS implementation of this language, with an editor and a testing console
Pinger (Palm OS) Pinger (Palm OS) - lets you trade voice messages with anyone's mobile phone in over 20 countries. It's better than voicemail because there's no ringing or lengthy instructions. It's more personal than text because it's your own voice so there's no room to be misunderstood. Plus you can send a Pinger message to a group of people with just one call
JAddress2CSV JAddress2CSV - A small framework written in java to list the internal AddressDB of the Palm. The output file is a CSV (comma Seperated values, ok here is a semicolon used). It is not the File used by the PalmDesktop; use Pilo-xfer or other tools to export the database from your palm to the platform you prefer. It runs with Java 1.1 or better
FtrList FtrList - I once needed a small tool to check which features were installed and what their values were and came up with this small program.
The program consists of a list in which all installed features are shown.
The first column is the creatorID of the owner, the second the feature number and the third the value in hex
Quartus RsrcEdit Quartus RsrcEdit is a Palm resource editor that runs on the Palm and allows users to view and change application resources using a forms-based editing environment tailored for specific resource types, as well as providing an integrated disassembler and hex-editor for Palm OS applications and databases
Other Software by developer «Nathan Whitmore»:
Multitasker Multitasker - This program allows you to run 4 multitasking-enabled yBasic applications at the same time(three in the background and one in the foreground).
NOTE:You cannot run compiled applications or non-multitasking-enabled yBasic applications with this tool
IR Messenger IR Messenger - NOTICE: This application is designed to be run under Multitasker 0.99 or higher. Running it under an earlier version of Multitasker may have unexpected results, and it simply won't work if you just run it directly from the "programs" menu. See the README file for instructions
StuffToTurnIn StuffToTurnIn - This is a program designed to remind you to turn in assignments. It creates lists ofg the assignments that are due for each day of the week and the period when they are due. You also tell it when each of your periods start, so it will beep when a period starts and you have something to turn in
LegacyRun Run non-multitasking (legacy) applications in Multitasker
ModIt ModIt - This is a Multitasker-enhanced program that allows you to modify assignments in StuffToTurnIn from within Multitasker. It also creates a backup of your data each time you modify it, guarding against mistakes.
Note that this application requires both Multitasker 0.99(or posibly higher) and StuffToTurnIn v.2.0 or higher
FingerReader FingerReader - NOTICE:This application requires Multitasker 0.99 or higher in order to run
This is a fingerprint-reading simulator for your Palm, similar to Thumb Scan or Fingerscan
MultiTunes MultiTunes - This program allows you to play propietary music files in Multitasker. The music format is highly compressed, so files usually ake up less than 32 kilobytes. This program also supports background playback, so you can use other Multitasker applications while listening to your music
Battery Estimator for Palm OS Battery Estimator for Palm OS - This program checks your Palm's battery level and converts it into an estimation of how long your Palm's battery will last based on a calibration to your specific device.. It is also Multitasker-enhanced, so you can see how much power you have left in any Multitasker application.
NOTICE:This application requires Multitasker 0
IRDA Tag IRDA Tag - Multitasker 0.99 Enhanced
Note:This program requires Multitasker 0.99(or possibly higher). Other versions may produce unpredictable results, and it will not work just from yBasic's programs menu
This is a basic laser-tag game for the Palm that works using the infrared ports on the Palm devices. It supports all of the basic laser tag features
