Palm OS Network Programming

Summary

Using the Net Library is fairly straightforward. You must, of course, find the library and load the protocol stack. Once the protocol stack is loaded, you can connect to a remote host, then send data to and receive data from that host. When you are done exchanging data, close down the connection. When you are finished with all network access, close the library and unload the protocol stack. The devil, as they say, is in the details. We face this devil over the next several chapters, as we build a sample application based on the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
