Most of my PocketC apps targetting the Tungsten E would only run on the
Cobalt Simulator (many times the speed, of course). I believe that my
SystemInfo was the only thing I could get to run on the Garnet
emulator.

BTW, do you know of any modern links for ASDK and Pila? Google keeps
turning up pages circa 1997... and the one '*.zip' I did get was
corrupted. Also, has there been any effort to port Pila to target the
ARM cpu used by the Gernet platform instead of targetting the abandoned
68K?

I imagine it is difficult to get developers interested in targetting
Palm devices these days...what with all the eleventh-hour changes in
direction {AFAIK, there are no actual devices based on the Cobalt
platform; company reorganization, decision to base future platforms on
Linux instead of PalmOS; company reorganization again; release of a
slue of new platforms including a few running none-other than Windows
PocketPC platform}. Is there a Captain piloting the Palm, Inc. ship???
Am I going to be forced to become three people so that I can maintain
my app for Palms bought five years ago, Palms bought last year, and
Palms to be bought next year?
