Greetings from the Great White North!
Any PDA programing support for Digital Mars!
Any pointers ( None of those pointer jokes,  please they are running through
my mind now, ok)
with where to take devellopment or should I just start building custom
classes.

To be more specific:
I have a palm 3c and wish to develop applications for it . . .
I havent seen an really good books on the subjecct and Microsoft seems to
want me to buy
some SDK for what I figure is just for Windows CE projects...

This is the line of thinking I am going...

I have no idea what is involved with programming for Windows CE. If it is an
intel x86 processor, however, DMC++ supports it at some level. You may need
some libraries, though, for the operating system interface. -Walter

You could try looking at g++. If I remember correctly there is a version that suports the Palm with an SDK available.

Yes... But it is not a simple as that. There is also a cross compiler to support the processors that run Windows CE.

Yes, there is. See my FAQ for details. As for getting DMC to work for the Palm, I'll bet there's essentially no chance of this happening. The Palm is based on a Motorola 68K variant. -- = Warren Young, maintainer of the Palm OS Programmer's FAQ at: = http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/palm/faq/ = = ICBM Address: 36.8274040 N, 108.0204086 W, alt. 1714m

If it'll take more than a year, I wouldn't bother. Palm's trying to ditch the m68k on that kind of time scale, for one of the ARM-type processor variants. Besides, there's already one free compiler for the Palm. -- = Warren Young, maintainer of the Palm OS Programmer's FAQ at: = http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/palm/faq/ = = ICBM Address: 36.8274040 N, 108.0204086 W, alt. 1714m

Yeah, I kinda thought the 68k was a dead issue.
