KoolAppList KoolAppList is a simple app designed for developers to keep track of their software
Palm Creator IDs Palm Creator IDs - For Developers. Requires ThinkDB2. As you know, every Palm Application requires a unique Creator ID (CID) that is registered on the Palm OS Site.
This tinyByte database is used to track the IDs that you have registered along with the date the program was released
JExpense2CSV JExpense2CSV - A Java JAR File to export the ExpenseDB.pdb to a CSV File. Because of Java it is OS independent.
What's New in This Release:
· - length check of AppInfo removed (on MAC it is 512 bytes ?!)

· - only the indexes of the label fields will be exported
PrgCalc PrgCalc - A programmer's calculatorm perfect to use for the onboard-developer, it works very much like an ordinary calculator but without decimals. In the upper row you select whether it should be signed or unsigned, the number of bits and in what way you want your number to be shown. The rest is just like any other calculator
ltraps ltraps is a trap analyzer for Palm OS prc files. ltraps will semi disassemble the code segments of the prc file and show which traps are used and what OS version is required for the trap to work ... (among other things).
ltraps is under development and should be treated as alpha software.
ltraps is currently being used on both Linux and Microsoft Windows
PP PP is a ISO standard Pascal compiler for PalmOS.
It generates true native 68000 executable code (.PRC) from Pascal source code.
You can use your favorite Palm DOC editor to write your code and either run PP from the VFSdos console or use the included UI shell PPShell to compile and run your program.
The language syntax is mostly compliant to the ISO 1775:1990

This is a fingerprint-reading simulator for your Palm, similar to Thumb Scan or Fingerscan
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
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
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
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
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
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
