This is only sorta true. The SOM emitters supplied with the Toolkit, emit
C bindings, but the IDL with defines the interface is language neutral.
I've not checked this, but I've always gone under the assumption that the
VisualAge Toolkits for PL/1 and SmallTalk SOM emitters that generated PL/1
and Smalltalk bindings respectively.

There is no problem to be solved. Wanting an apple to be an orange is not
going to make it so.

Yep. Palm's are small, but they are hardly simple. I guess this is
similar to many things these days.

Oh, lets' just say it's only about 3 manuals worth of APIs out the 50 or
so manuals that live in the \toolkit\book directory.
