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
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
DB View DB View is intended as a developer's tool to view the contents of Palm databases at a low level. I've found a few times when debugging applications that I really need to see what is being stored without relying on the application in test, DB View lets you do exactly that and a few other things too
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
