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.
My Tiny BASIC dialect, that I just called "tinyBasic", is similar and loosely based on the Intel 8080 Tiny BASIC written by Li Chen Wang and appearing in Doctor Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia in the May 1976 issue.
tinyBasic is developed with the iziBasic compiler for Palm OS handheld devices.
The source code of tinyBasic is provided in the download file (please see instructions in the readme file).
Update Description:
v1.2 (09/17/07):
Recompiled this program with the latest iziBasic version 6.1 to avoid device freezes or soft resets on some devices
v1.1 (04/30/07):
Minor update of iziBasic's source code to retrieve correctly values like -3 or .5 (before one had to write a=0-3 or a=0.5, when now a=-3 and a=.5 are valid entries)
Another minor update was to only accept integer values as line numbers
Ported the iziBasic source code to PP, NaPP and Free Pascal

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
Revisions Revisions - Here's one for developers. Do you write software, and want to keep track of your revisions? Here's a simple application that will record those details. A secondary use would be to record what you plan to change, and then you can tick off when done, noting the revision number

SyncNotify SyncNotify is an app for the other applications that need a hotsync to be installed properly. This app does not SIMLUATE a hotsync, it just makes the receiving application believe that one occured.
For example, I copied the IBM Java VM from my SD card to my palm. Well, the application was unusable because it needs to be synced to install properly
ResistorCode ResistorCode is an application which makes it possible to determine the color code from the a resistor value or to determine the value of a resistor from its color code.
The majority of resistors types have color codes to indicate their values.
In this application we have established 3 types of resistors (4, 5 and 6 bands)
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
Universal File Dialog Universal File Dialog is a complete tool for developers to integrate into their applications.
UFD gives a unified way of prompting the user for a file selection. UFD consists for two dialogs.
The Open File and Save File dialogs.
The Open File dialog is used to prompt for a file to open.
The Save File dialog is used to prompt for a file to save as
chmod chmod is a simple application, used to calculate the often confusing *nix chmod command.
This command is used for assigning rights to files, for example: "chmod 777 filea.txt" would grant read, write and execute rights to everyone for this file.
For more info on the chmod command itself, check any basic *nix reference guide
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
JAddressCSV2PDB JAddressCSV2PDB - A Java Jar File to create the built-in AddressDB.pdb for the Palm. It should be compatible with all kinds of Palm os. Up to now the file format of the AddressDB has not been changed. Use Address2CSV to generate the IFO file. The ifo file is supposed to be called like the CSV file with the suffix IFO (Example: CSVFile.CSV -->> CSVFile.CSV
