EVPlugBase is an open platform for third-party developers to
develop a Plugin for Palm OS. Palm OS is very succinct os system,
but it's a little inconvenient. Many programers develop patches
for the system, some of them are based with Hack Master, a great
platform for patches, others are not. That was the internal
reason that might crash the pilot.
After we finished EVPalmDict, a Hack extension, we find it is
necessary to develop a new mechanism to the programers who want
to add some of the system patch trap in their applications. We
name these applications "Plugin", different with
"hack".
What is lack of the Hack Master?
When we are developing EVPalmDict (A HackMaster extension), we feel these inconvenient deeply, so we develop EVPlugBase, to manage Plugins for Palm OS. The enhancement list below:

Supports Chinese display, Auto-detects GB/Big5, Display GB and
