Sample Application

SFInkView is a replacement for the builtin SatForms ink control. This one lets you manage the control much easier and also transfers the ink to your desktop as a simple BMP (via a custom conduit).

SFInkView 2.0 is a major enhancement over V1.x, offering the following improvements:

• PalmOS5 compatible
• PalmOS5 High Density display compatible
• Sony HiRes compatible
• saves images as monochrome BMP files regardless of device screen depth
• does not force colour devices into monochrome mode like SFInkView 1.0
• BMPs can be stored in RAM (like V1.0), on VFS expansion cards, or embedded in SatForms 4.1+ binary fields
• BMP files can be transferred from the PC to the Palm if you use the VFS or binary field storage methods or via uuencoded text (the Conduit can only be used to transfer BMPs stored in RAM from the Palm to the PC)
• BMP files can be converted to/from plain ASCII text via uuencoding/uudecoding functions, allowing for transmission over TCP/IP links including email, as well as storage in character fields
• BMP files can be copied back and forth between RAM and VFS storage
• the SFInkView Conduit (used only for BMP files stored in RAM) allows you to specify a global BMP file save path on the PC, and can autodelete images from the device after they are synced
• a function is provide to delete all BMP files from RAM without needing to know the filenames
