lecture 33 -- palm programming

showed MacPalm.c application including pilrc resource compiler

talked about:

* systemwide search (when app is launched)

* 1 app open at a time model

* Form is a window

* Polling for events (regularly or OS will hang on your app)

* 4 char app ID (also used as app's database ID)

* soft reset (reboot) vs hard reset (clear DB)

* Apps = code + compiled resources (forms, menus, buttons, etc)

* resources file can be made by resource compiler (pilrc) or GUI app
(PODS or Guikachu)

* .prc file gets loaded onto the Palm.

* app must have:  PilotMain (which polls for events and hands them
off), MainFormHandleEvent, AppHandleEvent

* We have 9 Tungsten T2s and 1 Tungsten C.  Both are running 5.2.x
Palm OS.
