How can I run Swat using a Zoomer as my target machine?
Q. How can I run Swat using a Zoomer as my target machine? A. There are other methods, but here's one way to run Swat with a Zoomer as the target machine (in ten easy steps): 1. You may need to perform a full reset on the Zoomer to free space in the RAM disk. You'll need space for your application plus at least 273k. (To do a full reset, press and release the reset button in the battery compartment while holding down both fire buttons. Keep holding down both fire buttons for a few seconds, then release. Then press and release the A button.) 2. Copy \TARGET\ZOOM\LOADER.EXE from the SDK CD to the \PCGEOS\LOADER directory on the host machine. 3. Connect the serial cable from your host machine to the Zoomer. Check your baud rate for PCCOM. (If you've reset the Zoomer, it will be at the default 19200. If need be, run Preferences on the Zoomer and change the baud rate for File Transfer mode.) 4. On the Zoomer, run File Manager, tap the Connect menu, tap File Transfer, tap the "Switch to File Transfer Mode" button in the dialog box. 5. On the host machine, CD to the \TARGET\ZOOM directory on the CD and enter the following commands to send the three files to the Zoomer (page Z.12 of the sdk documentation--\ZOOMDOC): PCSEND GEOS.GEO PCSEND LOADER.EXE PCSEND SWAT.EXE 6. Press a fire button on the Zoomer to exit PCCOM. (If it won't exit for some reason, perform a warm reset by pressing the reset button in the battery compartment without holding the fire buttons.) 7. On the Zoomer, run File Manager, go to the \GEOWORKS directory and move GEOS.GEO to the \SYSTEM directory. Here's a step-by-step: A. tap to select the file: GEOS Kernel (GEOS.GEO) B. tap Move in the File menu C. select SYSTEM in the Move dialog box D. tap the Move button 8. When ready to run Swat, tap File Transfer in the Connect menu on the Zoomer. 9. Run Swat on the host machine. 10. Swat will report it can't find hwrrom.lib, palmui.lib, and alarm.app. Enter "Ignore" for each of those.
