DA Launcher 5 is HACK type program that launches Desk Accesorry which is new type application on PILOT.
On Palm OS (on which Pilot and Palm Pilot runs), only One Application can run at the same time.
Pilot's launch time is very short and well designed application can keep it's status, so It's not so bad for user.
But Haven't you feel bothered when you must quit application to see Graffiti Help and resume it? It's same when you want to see today's date.
As for developer's side, I want to develop some application that handle's other application's data but ordinary application can't do that.
So we must make it as a HACK. But HACK damages speed and stability even when it's not used only installed. Desk accessory is a small applet for such utilities.
Desk Accessory can run overt the Application. You don't have to quit application to run Desk Accesorry.
When Desk Accessory quits, Application continues to run. I'm sorry but We must develop Desk Accessorry as Desk Accessory( not as ordinary Application) .
I'm planning to release rules and samples to develop Desk Accesorry.
This package contains 4 sample Desk Accessories. (Hello World, Free Heap, Date).
DA Launcher which can be used via Command Stroke. have DA management function. Palm OS 5 compatible
