Hi Scott, > I think you are misunderstanding the concept here. Currently platforms > other than PalmOS don't have catalogs, but they emulate them. Why can't > SW emulate the Registry or Database class using underlying Catalogs? > (just like SW emulates catalogs on WinCE and Java) But i did agree with the Registry class. You can see an e-mail i sent about the registry topic. It only have one work: agreed. About the Database class, i need more time to see if its feasible. I'll do that next week. > Why does a SW program need access to real Palm Catalogs? > If a SW program needs to access real PalmOS catalogs (like the MemoDB or > AdressDB) then the program will only work on the Palm. Shouldn't the > SW(waba) api reflect this platform dependancy? Don't windows have Notepad and address books? we could use a common denominator. > Is your concern backwards compatiblity? Sure. I'll not break backwards compatibility (even with PalmOS 2.0). > Sorry if I'm being too confronting, but I want to try to understand why > you disagree. You're more correct than me. bye guich |
