Up to now, the format of the ToDoDB has not been changed.
It runs with Java 1.1 or better.
Syntax:
java STARTER ToDoCSV2PDB ToDo.CSV ToDoDB
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
AppStats AppStats allows you to track the usage of applications on Palm OS 5 handhelds. It works silently in the background - keeping track of how often, for how long and at what times applications are used. The resultant data can then be viewed on the device in simple to read pie charts, exported to the Memo Pad, or synchronized to a PC with the AppStats conduit
Plural - Plua desktop IDE Plural - Plua desktop IDE - Plural is a desktop IDE written in Java for the Palm Plua language.
It is feature rich and includes syntax coloring and completion, compilation to Plua and Doc formats and code testing on a Palm Emulator/Simulator.
See www.sophonix.com/downloads/plural.asp for more details
Microfinish Microfinish is a MUST HAVE app for CNC lathe programmers!
Issue Manager Issue Manager - The standard To Do application is great if you want to track things that *you* have to do, but managing issues needs something a bit different. Issue Manager attempts to address this. Anyone that has to manage issues on a regular basis: project and product managers, software developers, etc. will find this software useful. Changes since v1
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
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
Other Software by developer «Nathan Whitmore»:
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
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
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
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
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
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
