ScumbySoft PilRC ver 2.0a
ScumbySoft PilRC ver 2.0a
by Wes Cherry wesc@ricochet.net
PilRC is a Win32 program for developing USRobotics/Palm Pilot applications. It takes a resource script file and emits one or more binary resource files which are then included by your project's .rc, .asm or other resource file.
PilrcUI gives you a quick GUI preview of your resource file. Clicking on the client area causes it to reload.
Let me know if you add any features, port or extend pilrc. I would like to keep tabs on all the variant flavors of pilrc.
Let me know if you run into any bugs, have feature suggestions or whatever.
PilRC is freeware. The source should compile as-is on Unix and OS/2 platforms. OS/2 binaries are available from http://www.t-online.de/home/jochen.stenzel/pilot-warpports.html It will also compile for DOS using DJGPP

What's new in 2.0a
o SCROLLBAR removed for FIELDS -- it broke normal SCROLLBAR controls
What's new in 2.0
o Support for greyscale bitmaps (BITMAPGREY). For a 2bpp
replacement for the standard Win* drawing routines, check out
ScumbySoft's Win2 2bpp
drawing library. For more info on greyscale on the Pilot see
Edward Keyes article: Hacking
the Pilot
o AUTOSHIFT, NUMERIC, SCROLLBAR now supported for FIELDs (but not
so well by PalmOS)
o CENTER@ allows you to specify x or y coordinate to center contr
o RIGHT@ and BOTTOM@ specifies left/top coordinate based on a
right or bottom coordinate.
o Bug fixes with AUTO, FONT 6.
What's new in 1.9
o ID id.n for controls may be replaced by AUTOID. PilRC will
autoassign ids when AUTOID is specified. Great for LABELs and
other controls which you do not reference in your code.
o PilRCUI now works with XWindows (xwin.c). main() moved to
main.c Thanks to Brandon Long (blong@fiction.net)
o OS/2 makefile included (makefile.os2). This should work on DOS
machines using the EMX runtime.
o Support for TRAP resources for writing HackMaster
system extensions.
What's new in 1.8
o Fixed some bad bugs in scrollbar generation
o Fixed bug in duplicate control detection code.
What's new in 1.7
o Incorporated code to read PBM, PBITM, and XBM bitmaps.
o Bitmap compression may be specified (COMPRESS, AUTOCOMPRESS,
NOCOMPRESS). Thanks to Hoshi Takanori (hoshi@sra.co.jp)
o Automatic ID assignment (-H command line option)
o Support for new PalmOS 2.0 scrollbar control
What's new in 1.6
o Fixed bug that prevented it from working on non Intel platforms
What's new in 1.5
o Now checks for duplicate form, menu, string, alert and form
object ids
o Also checks for invalid ids (not in 0..9999)
What's new in 1.4
o New -R command line argument: emits .res files -- a list of
resources emitted by pilrc. Include this in your PilA or JUMP
program
o New -q command line argument: Quiet mode -- less noisy output
o Sample .c file now builds and loads correctly on Pilots
What's new in 1.3
o Support for .java include files (Thanks to David Dawson)
o New BITMAP and ICON commands convert Windows .BMP files to
pilot bitmaps (Thanks to David Dawson)
o Sample .rcp file, .c and .asm files which contain examples for
each control type
o New -I command line argument to specify include search paths
o Updated user manual (Thanks to David Dawson)
o Bug fixes
