Available only in C++ source code or binaries for Win32 or MacOS, only. Note that the debugger's command language is a full FORTH interpreter, borrowed from John Sadler's standalone FORTH-Inspired Command Language (Ficl) interpreter (which is in ANSI C). By Eric Sessoms, with use of earlier code by Greg Hewgill, Darrin Massena, and John Sadler. http://debuffer.sourceforge.net/ [1] That comment is from Jeff Dionne's documentation. The term "PalmOS SDK" is slightly ambiguous, but almost certainly refers here to Palm Computing's proprietary "PalmOS SDK", http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/sdk35.cgi, which provides PalmOS headers and libraries, and add-ons needed by the development toolchains. The required click-wrap licence contains some obnoxious provisions, but you basically cannot create PalmOS software without the "SDK's" contents. (My apologies to Rob Tillotson for getting this wrong on the open-palm mailing list, and in the earlier version of this footnote.) The term "SDK" is _also_ sometimes used to denote the GNU toolchain for PalmOS, AKA the "prctools" package, comprising the PalmOS gcc port, binutils, gdb, and various post-linker tools to create PalmOS .prc files. Also required: pilrc, http://www.ardiri.com/ (or here). You may also find useful libsocket, pilot-template, pilot-link, and xcopilot/POSE (the PalmOS emulator). Those are detailed in http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/palmdevel/. At the minimum, you _will_ need xcopilot/POSE, since developing on PalmOS devices directly is not practical for performance and other reasons. See also the much-newer PalmOS Programmer's FAQ, at http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/palm/faq/ . The other toolchain on Unix is Metrowerks' proprietary Codewarrior (the Web site's CodeWarrior 7.0 for PalmOS pages omit mention of Unix-based development, for whatever that's worth), and there are a variety of other toolchains on MacOS and Win32 environments. However, please note that you will need the "PalmOS SDK" for any toolchain. You may want Pila from http://mklasson.cjb.net/ (or here). Pila is a PalmOS assembler, at one point merged by Darrin Massena into the "ASDK" (Alternative Software Development Kit) toolchain for Win32, but is now separated out again and maintained by Mikael Klasson, Michael Dreher, and others.
