The Emulator runs on most standard +desktop computers, includes those running Windows 95, Windows 98, +Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Mac OS 8.6, Mac OS 9.x, Mac OS X, and +several flavors of Unix. On the Mac, you need CarbonLib 1.2.5 or later. +You can find CarbonLib at: + + <http://developer.apple.com/carbon/> +or: + <http://developer.apple.com/sdk/> + +With the Palm OS Emulator, you can emulate the functions of a Palm +hardware device, including running the built-in application, as well as +installing and running 3rd party applications. + +Palm OS Emulator is an Open Source project. That means that the source +code is available for you to peruse and modify. If you make any changes +that you think might benefit others, we urge you to consider sending +them back to Palm, Inc., for inclusion in the main source code base. + +You can find the Palm OS Emulator at: + + <http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/emulator/> + +You will also find this URL in the About Box for the Emulator. The URL +is an active hyperlink; you can usually just click on it to launch your +Web browser and have it automatically access the Emulator home page. + + +Guide to the documentation files: +--------------------------------- +UserGuide.pdf + The official Poser documentation. The current version documents + features up to Palm OS Emulator 3.0a8. See the _News.txt or + _OldNews.txt files for changes since that version. + +Bugs.txt + A small set of bugs that we think you need to know about. Not + all known bugs are listed here -- just fairly relevent ones. + +Building.txt + Instructions on how to build (compile) the Palm OS Emulator on + the various supported platforms. + +Contributing.txt + Guidelines to follow (or at least consider) if you are thinking + of contributing to this Open Source project. + +Credits.txt + List of people who have contributed to the Emulator project. + +GPL.txt + Palm OS Emulator is an Open Source project distributed under and + protected by the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. The text of the + license is included in this file. + +News.txt + Blow-by-blow descriptions of changes made to the emulator as it + evolves over time. + +OldNews.txt + News.txt was getting too big, so older entries have been archived + to this file. + +ReadMe.txt + The document you're currently reading. + +ToDo.txt + A short list of To Do items, for people wondering what features + are planned or for people wondering how they can contribute to + the project. + +12rollin.pdf + Handheld Systems Journal article written by the current Palm OS + Emulator engineer. Covers the differences between the Palm OS + Emulator and Copilot, the program from which it was derived. + +13hewgil.pdf + Handheld Systems Journal article written by the original author + of Copilot. + + +Notes on the Profile version: +----------------------------- +Some Palm OS Emulator releases include a profiling version (indicated by +its having "Profile" appended to its name). This version of the +emulator allows users to turn profiling on and off, and to save the +results to disk in a format compatible with the CodeWarrior Profile +application, or in a tab-delimited text file suitable for spreadsheets. + +Because the extra code involved with profiling an application slows down +all program execution (even when profiling isn't currently being used), +profiling support is provided only in this special version. If you +don't intend to profile your application, you should use the normal +version of the emulator. |
