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
Proview Proview is a development tool that creates hierarchical and flat views from profiling data created with the POSE emulator.
Find out exactly where your software is spending its execution time and remove performance bottlenecks in your software
UIColorTheme UIColorTheme - UIColorTheme creates color theme resources for use in PDA ToolBox generated applications and in C/C++ projects that support importing .BIN resources or PilRC scripts. The resource is comprised of a Palette Table type ('tclt') table that provides User Interface objects with color information
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
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
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
Other Software by developer «Nathan Whitmore»:
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
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
LegacyRun Run non-multitasking (legacy) applications in Multitasker
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
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
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
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
