2002.03.24 ~23  PalmOS stuff.

- ZBoxZ (palmboxer.sourceforge.net) -

I found this while googling for "GPL graphics viewer".  Based around
in-PDA (de)compression (zlib (with the buffer-overrun bug!) now on PalmOS!)
and the Palm serial port, ZBoxZ encompasses a set of useful doohickeys.

Among these doohickeys: PNG/GIF viewer, compressed archival (like tar.gz),
compressed executables and runtime decompression (like a compressed
filesystem), YModem over the serial port (almost-substitute for HotSync),
MIDI player, Fax xmit/recv (!), and a simple web server (!!).  Emacs comes
to mind.

I plan to spend quite some time hacking on PiNGer, the image viewer
component.  If nothing more than to get it to compile from source at all.

Oh, yeah, and ZLib[.prc] could use the latest zlib patches.

- LispMe (www.lispme.de) -

A new version, 3.1, got released a month ago, just after I gave up the
project for dead.  It now has enough hooks to create Palm resource
databases ("Rsrc") within itself.  To actually make a resource compiler
is nontrivial... after converting 8% of pilrc.h to suitable Lisp form,
ennui got the better of me and I gave up.

There should be an automated way of extracting the info from pilrc.h.
Or maybe I can just type it up from scratch based on the Palm OS docs.
It's not like the Rsrc format is a moving target.
