Hi,
I have been dusting off some old Palm Pilots (III and V, mostly) and
am running into "decayed link" syndrome on most of my searches. I'm
finding fragmentary web pages and links to abandoned projects from 7-8
years ago, and only a few things that encompass what I'm working with.
I joined the Palm Developers Network, but they don't make older SDK
files available for download. I'm really looking for the kit they
used to have available that allows one to develop PalmOS 3.3-era stuff
- so around 1999 or so, I think. Does anyone on the list have
something that sounds like that? If so, please reply to me directly
rather than clutter the list with stuff about Palms.
To tie this search into recent events, I did see a few, very few,
Palms at Dayton. The best price I ran across was a Palm V w/cradle
and wall wart for $10 (and another for $15 with box). Unfortunately,
that's more than they go for elsewhere. I got home and ran across a
Palm Vx at the nearby thrift for $6.99 w/cradle and wall wart (along
with a Garmin 12 GPS for $1.91!)
Since the DragonBall is essentially a dressed up MC68000, I've always
appreciated the PalmPilot innards, but I've never had a need to build
my own apps. These days, everyone wants to support the Tungstens and
Treos, etc., and have left monochrome Palms in the dust.
Thanks for any assistance in locating ancient development tools.

Jamie Zawinski (jwz) has a port "Dali Clock" to PalmOS (with
sourcecode..) - - Maybe it could be useful to check that code out, if
for nothing else to perhaps get clues on compiling, bindings, calls,
etc..(?)

Hope this wont get you on the wrong track, -I know it's not what you
really asked for.

Rumor has it that Ethan Dicks may have mentioned these words:

Ontopically, get in contact with John Hogerhuis at www.bitchin100.com - he
wrote DLPilot as a DeskLink replacement (Tandy Portable Disk Drive emulator
for the Model 100/102/200 series laptops) for the Palm series machines and
it runs on PalmOS 3.3.
He may (probably?) have access to SDKs & info from that era machines.
His email can be found just above the monochrome screenshots for DLPilot
here: http://bitchin100.com/dlpilot/

New subject: Nigerian scam!?
Dear sirs, I'm in need of a "little help" :o)
Is anyone here from Nigeria?
A great friend of mine bought some videogames from a company in Nigeria.
It has all the components of a scam. But he asked me to help, so here I am
trying to help. The nigerian man says everything is in his possess, but
wants a $500 reshipment fee (?!) to ship it to UK (and only later, send to
Brazil, go figure!). Of course I'm trying with him to have a pick-up in
Nigeria, solving at once this problem. I can reward someone who is willing
for help.
I know, he has beem scammed. But at least I can try.
Thanks,
Alexandre

Be very very careful. One of the aspects of these Nigerian scams is
to use a number of intermediaries (and shipment drops) to launder
stolen merchandise or fraudulent money transfers. Your friend, even
if he winds up with the merchandise (which is doubtful), could find
himself in legal trouble.
See some of the variations here:
ttp://0035666.netsolhost.com/Nigerian/bogus_orders.htm
To be very candid, I suspec that the merchandise in question doesn't
exist.
Cheers,
Chuck

I usually click "Report Spam" if the email is started with "Dear
Sir" or
"My name is ...", or "Good day". I do not have much chance to do that
though, Gmail usually put them directly into the Spam folder.
Nigeria emails (I receive) are usually scams, and guess what, some UK
emails are scams too.

New subject: OT: Nigerian scam!?
While you are at it, could you pick up my lottery winnings?
Oh, and there are embezzlers all over the world, particularly in Nigeria,
who just need access to your bank account to move their money. All that
you need to do is pay a few thousand dollars in processing fees, . . .

And even if they don't, I hear those money laundering laws are a real pain...
what with the nice, long sentences, and the whole "Hey man, you dropped your
soap..." thing that TV leads me to believe goes on in prison.....

It's not Palm's own SDK, but IMO it's better. If you're using OS X then
get it from here instead of from sourceforget:

Of course, the new Palms will still run older applications, provided
that they don't make any assumptions about screen size. And even very
very old Palm apps rarely did that.
Another good place to ask for help might be comp.sys.palmtops.pilot.
