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.
