Palm OS development
-------------------

If you want to compile the viewer and the shared ZLib library
you have to install the necessary development tools (and make
sure that they are in your path). 

Where you find the tools:

prc-tools: http://www.palm.com/devzone/tools/gcc/
SDK3.5:    http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/sdk35.cgi
pilrc:     http://www.pilrc.com/
ZLib:      http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
TRG SDK:   see README in viewer/TRG_SDK directory

See the README in the viewer dir for additional info.


Documentation development
-------------------------

If you want to build or work on the Documentation, you will also need
LaTeX and LaTeX2HTML and its associated tools -- Perl 5, TeX, dvips,
ghostscript, and netpbm (see the Latex2HTML docs for info on where to
obtain these).  You will also need GNU sed.
