- This document contains the list of known significant bugs in the Palm
- OS Emulator. This list is not complete -- many insignificant or
- low-runner bugs have been omitted just to keep up the signal to noise
- ratio.
-
- * Neil needs to receive cmdInitDatabase when his app is installed.
-
- * You can't reliably change the time with the Preferences App. The
- time is generally synched with the host PC time.
-
- * It's not a good idea to load applications while the Launcher (the
- "Applications" application) is running. If the program you're
- loading doesn't already exist, it won't show up in the list of
- installed application until you quit and restart Launcher. If the
- application you're loading _does_ already exist, the Launcher won't
- refresh it's list, and will end up with a stale reference to the
- version you'd just replaced, leading to a Launcher crash.
-
- * We've seen one case where MacEmulator will draw the LCD area with a
- white background in single-scale mode instead of green. The cause
- of this problem appears to be with an out-of-date driver for a video
- acceleration board. Unless this is an issue for you, we probably
- won't try to figure out a workaround.
-
- * When working with an external debugger, make sure the ROM is awake
- (and not sleeping with a blank screen). Otherwise, communication
- between the two applications will not occur.
-
- * Selecting Pilot, PalmPilot, Palm III, or Palm VII as the device to
- emulate always results in a PalmPilot being emulated. There are
- very few side effects of this bug (for instance, a Pilot will now
- indicate that it has backlighting) but fixing this problem will
- probably cause more problems than it fixes (for instance, the
- Palm VII OS would then think that its on Palm VII hardware instead
- of PalmPilot hardware and start trying to do Palm VII-specific
- things, and crashing because there is little actual support for
- Palm VII hardware).
-
- * When using NetLib redirection, NetLibSelect doesn't support the
- use of sysFileDescStdIn or sysFileDescStdOut.
-
- * There is no IR emulation.
-
- * HotSync doesn't work on Visor devices.
-
- * Command line options don't work on the Unix version.
