Onboard Code Editors

iziBasic itself is just a compiler. To enter your source code, you need a text editor. iziBasic can use memos written in the built-in Memo Pad, or you can use one of the many third-party DOC editors available.

• Memo Pad - included with every Palm device

• PIAF - free, automatic color-coding, integrated compiling
• SrcEdit
• SiEd
• QED
• ViziBasic - $25, GUI layout, source generation

Resource Editors

You can create simple apps using just iziBasic and a text editor. However, to create more sophisticated programs (using custom forms, graphics, icons, sounds, etc.), you'll need to create these as resources using a resource editor.

Luckily, there are third-party resource editors available that run on your Palm, and they work very nicely with iziBasic:

• BIRD - free
• RsrcEdit

Palm Pascal Applets

If there's a function you can't find in iziBasic, or you need higher performance, you can extend your iziBasic program using "applets" written in Palm Pascal.
