Similar Software:
Save To Host Save To Host - allows developers to save text from this PRC to a file on the host machine; or to read text from a file on the host machine into this PRC.
This must run in the PalmOS Emulator (POSE) and is very much a developer tool
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
NSBSyncName Shared Library NSBSyncName Shared Library - Now NSBasic/Palm Users can get and set the HotSync ID and HotSync Name in their applications with this shared library.
This library has been tested against PalmOS v3.0 and later. And has been tested and used with NSBasic/Palm v2.1
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
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
iziBasic iziBasic - stands for easy Basic for Palm. It targets all kinds of developers and should be a very good tool for newbee programmers. Skilled programmers will also find in iziBasic a tool to develop very quickly and easily various types of software.
iziBasic is a high level development compiler which builds Stand-alone applications
MDB to PDB Converter MDB to PDB Converter - A very useful tool to convert MS Access Database tables to palm database (pdb). Specially designed for developers to have their desktop data transferred on to palm. This utility will help you convert your any big size desktop access database to equivalent palm database. Also include pdb viewer which will help you to verify contents written into pdb
JMemo2HTML JMemo2HTML - This Desktop Application exports all entries of the MemoDB.pdb to a HTML File.
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
JDatebook2HTML JDatebook2HTML - You have to report your working hours to your Chief or just want to share it with you colleague ?
A Desktop Application written in Java to export the internal DatebookDB (Creator: date, Type: data) of the Palm to HTML Files, that con be viewed with the browser of your choice. There will be one File for each Month where are events in
Dragon FORTH build Dragon FORTH is a fast 32-bit FORTH system for PalmOS 2.x-6.x. It allows programming directly on the PalmOS device
Other Software by developer «Nathan Whitmore»:
LegacyRun Run non-multitasking (legacy) applications in Multitasker
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
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
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
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
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
