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.
My Tiny BASIC dialect, that I just called "tinyBasic", is similar and loosely based on the Intel 8080 Tiny BASIC written by Li Chen Wang and appearing in Doctor Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia in the May 1976 issue.
tinyBasic is developed with the iziBasic compiler for Palm OS handheld devices.
The source code of tinyBasic is provided in the download file (please see instructions in the readme file).
Update Description:
v1.2 (09/17/07):
Recompiled this program with the latest iziBasic version 6.1 to avoid device freezes or soft resets on some devices
v1.1 (04/30/07):
Minor update of iziBasic's source code to retrieve correctly values like -3 or .5 (before one had to write a=0-3 or a=0.5, when now a=-3 and a=.5 are valid entries)
Another minor update was to only accept integer values as line numbers
Ported the iziBasic source code to PP, NaPP and Free Pascal

CheckPRC CheckPRC is a useful Windows tool for Palm developers to identify compatibility problems and maximise the number of users who can access their applications.
It can be used to determine the earliest version of Palm OS that a Palm application may run on, and to identify all the Palm OS functions that the application uses
ZenPlus for Palm ZenPlus for Palm is a popular freeware application framework (Class Library) for C++ programmers who write software on Palm OS.
ZenPlus can increase the productivity of developers by helping them partition code and providing standard Palm OS application functionality.
Focus has been placed on code reliability and resource implications
Application Development Assistant This app lets developers store information about the programms they are writing (CreatorID, size, version, downloads, etc.)
JPQA2TXT JPQA2TXT - A small framework written in java to uncompile a PQA (Creator: cpl; Type: pqa ) for the Palm. In a txt fifle will be the information about the pqa and each record like size, content, compressionType. Each HTML content will be written to a single file, each included image will be written to a BMP file (quality and size is reduced)

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
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
PBrick PBrick - The PBrick library provides a API for bidirectional IR communication between the palm computing platform and the lego mindstorms RCX controller
