| Commentary: |
This appears to be an MFC-like class library for Palm OS development. I
don't know how deep the similarities go, but it has a CPalmApp base
class and a C preprocessor-based message map definition mechanism.

iKnapsack |
| Author: |
Adam Tow |
| Provides: |
A tight Internet/Palm integration mechanism. |
| Tool Compatibility: |
CodeWarrior |
| Library type: |
Shared library |
| Licensing: |
BSD-style freeware |
| Commentary: |
iKnapsack provides a way to convert Internet content to Palm databases.
The simplest example is grabbing addresses off a web page and adding
them to your Address Book, but this package's open design lets you write
plugins that translate any web content to any Palm database.
|
| Package: |
MathLib |
| Author: |
Rick Heubner, GNU Project |
| Provides: |
A Standard C math library |
| Tool Compatibility: |
CodeWarrior, GCC |
| Library type: |
Shared library |
| Licensing: |
LGPL |
| Commentary: |
If you're a C programmer and you need to do floating point arithmetic or
trig, you need MathLib. This library is a Palm OS port of the math
portion of the GNU Standard C Library (glibc). Since Palm OS itself has
very weak floating point math support, this library fills in some pretty
big gaps.
|
| Package: |
Palm Application Framework |
| Vendor: |
Bear River |
| Provides: |
C++ wrapper for Palm OS programming |
| Tool Compatibility: |
CodeWarrior |
| Library type: |
Static link library |
| Licensing: |
Open Source |
| Commentary: |
This is a C++ framework for developing Palm OS applications. It
currently only works with CodeWarrior, though since it has source
available you could theoretically port it to the GNU toolchain.
|
| Package: |
Zen Plus |
| Vendor: |
Class Action |
| Provides: |
C++ wrapper for Palm OS programming |
| Tool Compatibility: |
CodeWarrior, and allegedly GCC |
| Library type: |
Static link library |
| Licensing: |
Open Source |
| Commentary: |
Zen Plus (previously called "Teenee") is similar to PAF
in that it's a C++ application framework for Palm OS programming. Its
differences are that it's more lightweight, and that it is said to work
with GCC. A quick tour of the sources makes it plain that the developers
haven't gone out of their way to make this easy, however.
