========================================================================

This document contains the list of known significant bugs in the Palm
OS Emulator.  This list is not complete -- many insignificant or
low-runner bugs have been omitted just to keep up the signal to noise
ratio.

*	Neil needs to receive cmdInitDatabase when his app is installed.

*	You can't reliably change the time with the Preferences App.  The
	time is generally synched with the host PC time.

*	It's not a good idea to load applications while the Launcher (the
	"Applications" application) is running.  If the program you're
	loading doesn't already exist, it won't show up in the list of
	installed application until you quit and restart Launcher.  If the
	application you're loading _does_ already exist, the Launcher won't
	refresh it's list, and will end up with a stale reference to the
	version you'd just replaced, leading to a Launcher crash.

*	We've seen one case where MacEmulator will draw the LCD area with a
	white background in single-scale mode instead of green.  The cause
	of this problem appears to be with an out-of-date driver for a video
	acceleration board.  Unless this is an issue for you, we probably
	won't try to figure out a workaround.

*	When working with an external debugger, make sure the ROM is awake
	(and not sleeping with a blank screen).  Otherwise, communication
	between the two applications will not occur.

*	Selecting Pilot, PalmPilot, Palm III, or Palm VII as the device to
	emulate always results in a PalmPilot being emulated.  There are
	very few side effects of this bug (for instance, a Pilot will now
	indicate that it has backlighting) but fixing this problem will
	probably cause more problems than it fixes (for instance, the Palm
	VII OS would then think that it's on Palm VII hardware instead of
	PalmPilot hardware and start trying to do Palm VII-specific things,
	and crashing because there is little actual support for Palm VII
	hardware).

*	When using NetLib redirection, NetLibSelect doesn't support the use
	of sysFileDescStdIn or sysFileDescStdOut.

*	There is no IR emulation.

*	HotSync doesn't work on Visor devices.

*	Command line options don't work on the Unix version.

*	Many operations will hang the emulator if performed when the
	emulated power is off.  These operations include -- but are not
	limited to -- typing characters, clicking on the LCD area, running
	Gremlins, and installing files.  To be on the safe side, limit
	yourself to clicking on the hard buttons and closing/quitting the
	session.

*	Windows: Dropping a .rom or .psf file onto the emulator's desktop
	icon launches the emulator and display an error message saying
	that it didn't understand the parameter <filename>.

*	Windows: Dropping a .rom or .psf file onto the emulator's window
	crashes or hangs the emulator.
