An
external library is some extra ".PRC" file that needs to be installed in addition to the calling application. It is the equivalent of the ugly ".DLL" files in a Window$ PC.
On Palm, the MathLib is the most famous external library used by many applications, not by iziBasic which uses the native PP Math internal library written by Pierre.
Personally, I chose to write my PC applications in Delphi and not in Visual Basic, because I hate to have to install 3rd party files in addition to the main application. And so do I believe it should also be in the Palm devices.
So my position clearly is: use internal libraries unless external libraries are really required or the only ones available for a given need.
Then, what kind of
internal library? An iziBasic one (with the INCLUDE compiling directive) or a PP applet one?
Well, it doesn't really matter to me, everything will be stored in a single ".PRC" and that is what is important.
The choice between the 2 options will be a question of:
1. programming knowledge;
if you don't want to dig into PP, with its power but also with quite of a learning curve, then why don't you just content yourself with iziBasic...
2. speed;
a PP applet will for sure run faster than an iziBasic pseudo-code, not to talk about the high speed PP ARMlets...
Then, if speed is not an issue, if you want to develop quickly and natively, stick to iziBasic, otherwise consider the great power of PP, but always try to consider
internal library first, please do it for me

@Ktimaster and bh77a: why don't we organize a first
iziBasic User Group meeting there where Ktimaster will go pretty soon?
