The source is based on pila1b3unix, a linux port by Damien Neil. I've successfully compiled Pila under both Linux and Win95/NT.

Screwing with regs (especially d4?) in PilotMain seems to be a Bad Thing to do...
A boolean has the size of an unsigned char, i.e 8 bits. Keep in mind that 8-bit arguments are expanded to 16 bits
DBcc uses only the lower 16 bits of the loopreg
Some PalmOS APIs destroy d0-d2/a0-a1
LSd/ASd/ROd/ROXd uses only the lower 6 bits of the countreg
PalmOS doesn't seem to want other ppl messing with the hardware timers
