1)

Question:	Thanks for developing Pila and PilotDis. Unfortunately I can't
		find any *.exe files in your archive.

Answer:		That's right, this software is developed under a LINUX system.
		I don't have to use Windows at all. LINUX people mostly depack
		the archive (*.tar.gz), "cd" into it and run "./configure".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)

Question:	I am new to programming. Can you teach me how to compile Pila
		and PilotDis?

Answer:		Well "teaching how to compile" is different. It depends first
		on what operating system you are and what "C" development tools
		you are using. For LINUX you need only to depack the (*.tar.gz)
		archive and run "./configure;make;make install-strip". That's
		all.

3)

Question:	I don't know what a assembler and disassembler is good for. Can
		you please tell me?

Answer:		If you don't know what a assembler and disassembler is then you
		don't need this software.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4)

Question:	PilotDis is really limited because debuffer is more powerful in
		debugging programs.

Answer:		Debuffer seems to be (because I'm not really familiar with it)
		a monitor, that runs in the background of POSE. PilotDis is
		"just" a total powerful disassembler (sourcecode generator).
		You can't compare a MONITOR (that watches the program
		operating, like setting breakpoints and trace-vectors etc.)
		with a DISASSEMBLER.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5)

Question:	I can't assemble the sourcecode that PilotDis generates on a
		normal macroassembler like Pila, ASM-One, etc. What gives???

Answer:		Yes, that's right, at least for now. PilotDis still has some
		goddamn stupid routines that I will change in the future.
		PilotDis will become Pila compatible as soon as possible;
		compatible with, at least, the majority of assemblers out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6)

Question:	I see, that you added Pila in this archive aswell and renamed
		it to palmpower. What does it mean?

Answer:		Yes, you are a fast one ;). The archive got renamed and the
		version number will be synchronized, that is, Pila's version
		number will soon be the same as PilotDis. Both tools need
		urgent development to be up to date. No one seem to take care
		of assembly programming for Palm anymore. I think this is a
		wrong and stupid decision. Let's make the best out of it. I
		want PilotDis to become as compatible as possible with Pila
		and Pila should become even better than before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7)

Question:	You are a workaholic. Do you plan to upgrade other utils as
		well?

Answer:		No! There's a tool called Par that i use often but it is still
		under development by the original inventor, as it should be.
		Pila and PilotDis will be further developed. The tool called
		SplitPRC, in this archive as well, will be expanded upon in
		time.

8)

Question:	Is there support for Macintosh, BeOS or Windows?

Answer:		No, not from my side!
