POSE
POSE emulates the hardware of a number of different Palm OS devices: Pilot 1000, Pilot 5000, Palm III, Palm IIIx, Palm V, Palm Vx, Palm VII, Palm VIIx, Palm IIIc, Palm m500, Palm m505, Symbol 1700, Handspring Visor, Handspring Prism, HandEra TRGPro, and HandEra 330.
Everybody should read and follow the instructions for POSE. First, we will show you how to install it, then how to run it. We’ll be discussing POSE Version 3.2.
Getting and Installing POSE
The first thing to do is to download and install POSE. The instructions are slightly different for Unix, because you need to build it from the sources.
On Windows and Mac OS you can download the latest version of POSE from http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/emulator/.
On Unix, things are a bit more complicated. You’ll need to build POSE from the source code. Before you can do this you need to get the FLTK toolkit.
Download the FLTK toolkit ( fltk-1.0.11-source.tar.gz) from http://www.fltk.org.
Uncompress it:
tar -zxf fltk-1.0.11-source.tar.gz
Build FLTK:
cd fltk-1.0.11 ./configure make make install
Download POSE at http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/emulator/emulator-src-32.tar.gz.
Extract the sources:
tar -zxf emulator-src-32.tar.gz
Configure and build the POSE sources (instructions are in the file, Docs/_Building.txt):
cd Emulator_Src_3.2/BuildUnix ./configure make
Install POSE into /usr/local/bin/pose:
make install
