PRCExplorer PRCExplorer - Using this tool you can open any PRC file and navigate into it. You can see individual resources, graphically display Forms and Alerts, Bitmaps, Fonts, ... This is useful to debug and develop your application as well as analyzing PRCs
BrainF#ck BrainF#ck-This is a full onboard Palm IDE for the BrainF#ck programming language, you can edit, debug and run BrainF#ck programs. You can watch the current memory, output and even run the program step by step. A short BrainF#ck description can be found here
PluaED PluaED is a simple editor which can be used to edit Plua source files. Plua can read source files in DOC format or from Memo Pad. DOC writers usually costs money, Memo Pad can only edit source files up to 4096 characters.
PluaED overcomes some of these limitations - PluaED is free and can edit source files up to 65534 characters (if your device supports it)
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
PilRC PilRC is a Platform Independant program (sources are provided) for developing Palm Computing Platform applications.
It takes a resource script file and emits one or more binary resource files which are then included by your project's .rc, .asm or other resource file.
Let me know if you run into any bugs, have feature suggestions or whatever
Other Software by developer «Nathan Whitmore»:
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
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
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
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
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
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
LegacyRun Run non-multitasking (legacy) applications in Multitasker
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
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
