No. Hacks worked by patching into Palm OS and replacing standard Palm OS routines with their own. OS5 removed the facility that allowed hacks to run, so almost *no* hacks will work. It substitutes "notification" apps, which can respond to messages sent by the OS5 notfication manager. Tealpoint Software has a utility that allows some hacks to run on OS5 by converting the system calls the hack tries to make to OS5 "notifications", but many hacks do things for which corresponding notifications don't exist. Tealpoint has a table on their site of hacks that can run under their utility, but LapTopHack isn't one of them. A Russian programmer named Igor Nesterov discovered it was possible to write OS5 hacks in native ARM code, and run them via an undocumented interface, and there's an OS5 version of his Yet Another Hack Manager program, with a few hacks available. See http://yahm.palmoid.com I use an OS5 version of Fonthack under YAHM, but there's not a lot out there. You probably want to look ar pToolset instead. > Thanks > Isr ______ Dennis ------------------------------------ Latest pedit/pToolSet/LapTopHack at http://www.osuweb.net/~pc/pca/pc_all.zip pedit/pToolSet/LapTopHack scripting info/resources at http://www.peditors.com Peditors Forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peditors Unsubscribe by writing to peditors-unsubscribe-hHKSG33Tihh4sT85+ipIM4ckdKdSAMto@public.gmane.org!
