I would probably describe the project as being on life support. Very  
little development occurs and most of the devs that used to be  
involved have moved on to other things. I've probably been the most  
active developer for OnBoardC in recent history but since it's not  
something I get paid to do, it has to be fit in around my other  
activities.

I tend to do more app development using OnBoardC (rather than hacking  
on OnBoardC itself) since I have my phone with me all the time, while  
my computer lives at home.

Don't let the lack of updates scare you off though. OnBoardC is a  
mature program and while the lack of bug fixing means there are  
things you may need to work around in your code, it's certainly able  
to function as a development environment. I use an old PowerPC build  
of PRC-Tools on my MacBook Pro when I do offline Palm development.

I had a zip file with the latest version of OnBoardC (with various  
bug fixes and enhancements not found in the last official release) on  
my web site but I moved recently and had to switch ISPs so that link  
is broken. I'm trying to get it back but since my new ISP doesn't  
give me web storage it'll take a little while.

The link (once it's working again) will be http://ramsay.webhop.org/ 
OnBoard.zip

(this reminds me, I really need to include a changelog that lists the  
changes in this build from the last official build).
