Palm OS Emulator... |

I tried iziBasic with the emulator running OS 3.1 and it failed. OS 4.1 works, however, but the programs compiled with this OS don't run on a IIIe running OS 3.1.1. To get around this, I compile directly on the IIIe for OS 3 machines. Conversely, I use POSE for OS 4 machines because it's quicker. I wish iziBasic would work within POSE running OS 3.1, but there seems to be something wrong. Anybody else notice this? |

Hello CMR,
I tried iziBasic with the emulator running OS 3.1 and it failed. Well, if you don't tell how it fails (error message? crash? ...), it is hard to guess what's wrong.
Here are a few hints:
At each new release, I test iziBasic in POSE with PalmOS from version 3.0 and up, then with real devices 3.5, 4.1 and 5.2. And I only relesase the new version when it is proven to always works (compiles all sample applications OK and compiled applications run OK too). So, I am pretty confident that your issue is more of a usage mistake than a bug...
As explained in the MINOSVERSION compiling directive, the minimum amount of RAM required for iziBasic to run is 2MB. => This is maybe where your POSE configuration is wrong?
To get an application to work on a 3.1 device when compiled on a 4.x or later version, you have to set correctly the MINOSVERSION compiling directive so that iziBasic can know the target type of device. => Did you check this parameter?
Cheers, aldweb

Sorry I wasn't more clear, but after reading your explanation and hints, it all makes sense now. I read about the MINOSVERSION directive, but it didn't sink in until now.
From what you've said, it looks like I can do the following:
Run POSE with OS 4.1 (because I have a IIIx) and then compile with {MINOSVERSION} "3.1" to make my app run on both my IIIx and IIIe
Is this correct?
