Most of the functionality of the core WABA VM is already implemented in this Version, some functions are missing and some are special for the HP200LX.

Current version is 1.0:   download | BINARY | SOURCE |   see | INSTALLATION | SCREENSHOTS | SUPPORT |

INSTALLATION
To install just unzip the archive into a subdirectory and start w.bat. If no classfile is specified, waba/ui/Welcome is loaded. Also modify w.bat and set the CLASSPATH environment variable according your needs. All base classes are packed into waba.zip. Loading classes from ZIP files takes a little longer than loading classes native from disk. So to improve performance just unzip wabaN.zip and point your CLASSPATH to the directory where you have unziped waba.zip. (Don't unzip waba.zip! In waba.zip there is no support for long filenames included) WABA supports long filenames. This is no problems within ZIP archives but when reading classes directly from disk, this is a problem under DOS 5 running on the 200LX. To overcome this place a index.dat file in directories containing long filename files. It's just a simple textfile providing a translation from long to short filename. If such a file exists in a directory WABA will use it automaticaly. Just see the examples in wabaN.zip.

Functions already implemented
• Reading Class files
  (either native from Disk (supporting long filenames!), and also from ZIP archives)
• Native support for ZIP archives inside the VM
• Support for the HP200LX PAL Toolkit (Windows, Graphics, Fonts, etc.)
• Disk File access
• Sound functions
• Keyboard and Timer events

Functions currently missing but planed
• Image functions
• Networking TCP/IP (Next version will include WATTCP TCP/IP stack!)
• Native XML support inside the VM
• SyncML support
• Binary loadable modules (like Windows DLL's) for a better memory usage on the limited 200LX memory.

Functions special for the HP200LX
• 200LX WABA as an EXM application

Functions not planed
• Palm catalog support inside the VM. There are some Waba/Java classes availabe which does this.
