One of my favorite Palm OS-related utilities is PRC Explorer, a.k.a. Palm Application Explorer. Regis Nicholas, of PalmSource France fame, is the author of this essential program that lets you look into your PRC files, poke through all the resources, and save them off as RCP or BIN files.
Regis just announced the 1.0.19 release, incorporating a year worth of bug fixes and feature improvements. A lot of the changes involve support of recent PilRC syntax changes. From his announcement mail:
- FEATURE: Added support in "Save Source" for other BITMAP/ICON densities than 1 (72) and 2 (144) in particular for 1.5 (108)
- FEATURE: Added support for 1.5x fonts
- FEATURE: Added support for Font families in "Save Source" to save 'nfnt' fonts in source format
- FEATURE: Added support for sliders in "Source Tab" in the form viewer.
- FEATURE: Added context menu to Database TreeView
- FEATURE: Added support for Navigation resources ('fnav')
- FEATURE: Added support for Navigation in the form viewer
- FEATURE: Displaying the Tip string (in addition to its ID) when clicking the 'i' button in form titles
- FEATURE: Added mouse coordinates in the form viewer
- FEATURE: Added a view displaying all bitmaps in a family in the tBMP viewer
- FEATURE: Changed the viewer structure to add a callback to the host (front end). This will be extended later but already gives the possibility of fetching a resource in other loaded PRC (for resources in overlays or base)
- BUGFIX: Save source: Empty Lists in forms were missing an empty string ""
- BUGFIX: Form Bitmaps were discarded when bitmaps were not found in the same PRC. A rectangle will be displayed instead and the correct FORMBITMAP line will appear in the source.
- BUGFIX: Disassembly of MOVEM was displaying a wrong register list when from registers to memory
- BUGFIX: Reverted the change in 1.0.18.5 to link statically with MFC and CRT. This causes some memory allocation issues.
