Installing DBFax
With the addition of new features, the size of the program has increased.
DBFax now comes in two files :
-
FAX202U.PRC an application file which contains all the
user interface and the management of the dialogs
-
LIBF202U.PRC a shared library which contains all the
fax routines
In order to properly install DBFax on your pilot, you
must install those two files. However, only one icon will appear
in the application launcher application.
Why two files ?
There are two main reasons to this :
-
Because of system internals, the programs created with the compiler I used
(GCC) must remain smaller than 32 Kbytes. Hopefully, it is now easy to
create shared libraries thanks to xxxx. The two files are a solution
to break the 32 Kbytes limit.
-
Also, I plan on releasing one day a shared library, with a documented interface
which could be called by any other application running on the Pilot. For
example, someone developping a Mail application could easily add some faxing
capabilities to it.
