Can I access PalmPilot databases from Waba?
Yes. You can use the Catalog class to access PalmPilot databases from a Waba program. • Do Waba programs use the storage heap for memory? Yes, starting with the Beta 7, the class heap of Waba programs is kept in storage memory. The object heap, native stack and VM stack of a Waba program are kept in dynamic memory. • If I use sockets and try to open one when my program starts, it fails under the PalmPilot. What’s going on? PalmOS doesn’t allow you to open a socket until the “main loop” of your application has started. If you open a socket before events start getting processed, PalmOS may reset the device. The WabaVM prevents a Waba program from opening a socket at the wrong time and won’t let a program open a socket until it is safe to do so. Waba programs are constructed before the PalmOS event loop starts. That is, a MainWindow constructor will be called before the “main loop” starts. So, opening a socket in a MainWindow constructor will fail under PalmOS. Under PalmOS, you can open
