Where did you find these source files? I can't find them on my SDK disks.
Have you tried compiling the programs to see if they work?

b) Some libraries are undocumented, too: How to write screensavers? Does
the fax-library really allows creating a tif-fax-format-like "picture"?
(If so, writing a fax-program would be very easy. All you would have to do
is a "little" initialisation (modem-init and a few lines for exchanging
the fax-protocl-header) and then simply sending this above "picture".
>>>>>
Writing screen savers has unfortunately not been documented. Hopefully
someone can start that soon.
<<<<<
c) What does it take to translate a fully-object-oriented c++-program o
work under geos? The one I would like to transfer consists of many classes
(with multiple inheritance,...) and a few basic i/o-routines.
>>>>>
I would think it's not TOO hard, but could take a while and will be tedious
work. You'd have to change all the class definitions to use the GOC syntax,
not a big deal. You'd also have to send messages to objects, as opposed to
calling methods of a class. Mostly it's different paradigms.
<<<<<
d) This is a really stupid one: I can use zoomer-programs on the desktop
without any problems (as long as I've got all required drivers and
libraries). BUT if I'm writing a program for the "platform geos20" does
this program work on a zoomer, etc. without recompiling it for another
plattform?
>>>>>
Should work alright. All the same, you can leave the platform line out of
your .GP file and your program should run fine on any GEOS platform.
<<<<<
e) The Omnigo requires a different SDK. Does this mean that "normal"
Geos-programs (for the desktop or the pdas) can't be run on it?!
>>>>>
No, many existing GEOS programs will run on the OmniGo. The only problem I'm
aware of currently is that many GEOS programs are large in size and screen
space. Some may not fit on the OmniGo's rather small screen.
