DigiDA Version 0.3 by Dwayne Fujima


<Description>
DigiDA is a DA (Desk Accessory) that displays a crosshair and the coordinates
of where the Palm thinks your digitizer is pointing.  Why do you need this
program?  Well fortunately my Palm's digitizer seems to be fine (knock
on wood), but there are folks whose Palm's digitizer goes astray.  ie you 
tap at one point but the tap seems elsewhere.  With DigiDA, you can check 
where the Palm's digitizer is actually pointing.

<Use>
Launch DigiDA with your favorite launcher (my favorite is App/DA Launcher 
which allows you to launch regular Palm apps and DAs; it features an
app history list like SwitchHack, and you can divide your silkscreen
buttons into quadrants to launch apps or DAs).  The DigiDA window
popups up in the middle of the screen.  Tap outside of the window and
crosshairs will be drawn centered on where the Palm's digitizer believes
it is being positioned, and the coordinates will show up in DigiDA's
window.  Tap inside DigiDA's window on the coordinates and drag the 
window to move it.  When 'X' is checked, DigiDA will use a smaller cursor
and leave it where you lift your pen.

<DA Information>
What's a DA?  DAs are small utilities that are launched with special
DA launchers, that can run over the current application.  So you don't
have to quit the application to run a DA.  When the DA quits, the
application continues to run.  See

http://member.nifty.ne.jp/yamakado/da/index.htm

for more information about DAs and a slew of DAs and DA launchers,
most of which are free.  The DA launcher needs either Hackmaster (not
free, but very inexpensive) or EvPlugBase (freeware) in order to use it.

<Compatibility>
Worked with my OS 2.0 and 3.0 ROMs with POSE.  I couldn't get either 
Hackmaster or EvPlugBase to work with my 3.5 ROM but the code itself
should be ok.  If there is anyone with a 3.5 Palm that could test
this program out and let me know whether it works or not, I'd appreciate
it.
    
<Disclaimer>
I hope that this program works properly.  But there is NO WARRANTY 
for the program.  

<Version 0.3 changes>
I misunderstood the request for how leaving the mark should work.
Version 0.3 erases the last mark when you check another coordinate
or if you leave the DA.  In otherwords, it should leave your screen
in the same shape as it was before launching the DA.

<Version 0.2 changes>
Got rid of the standard title bar and the information icon.  The help
(and ego :^) screen can now be selected by tapping on the small 'i'
(information) button.  Version 0.1 would not allow the user to drag
the window on the title (long boring complicated reason due to DA's event
handling mechanism snipped), so I just got rid of the title :-)  David
Getchell requested having a cross hair to be drawn instead of automatically
having itself erased.

Found that there were some incompatibilities with screen dragging with
OS 3.5 (thanks again to David Getchell and his TRGPro).  Version 0.1
would do strange things when trying to drag.  I hope I fixed this.  Again, 
since I have no color Palm, I can't test whether this fix works with
color devices.  I hope someone will let me know whether it does or doesn't
work.

DigiDA is free software.
