WAGWARE SYSTEMS, INC. and Brainyware, LLC today announced the immediate availability of CASL 4.3. CASL (Compact Application Solution Language) is a development environment which allows developers to create applications for PalmOS®, PocketPC / Windows Mobile and Windows platforms. CASL is the ideal RAPID Application development environment for PDA developers that want to create compact applications on multiple platforms quickly, using a singe code base. CASL also allows extending applications to take advantage of device-specific features using C Code (on the PalmOS) or Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL’s) on PocketPC / Windows platforms.
There are no run-time royalties to distribute CASL applications to end-users of CASL applications. This makes CASL particularly attractive to corporate, shareware, commercial and freeware authors. CASL strikes an optimum balance of core capabilities, extendibility and features on all three (3) supported platforms.

Key features include:

Hi-Res Graphic Support

Indexed Database files for fast random access

Communicate with BlueTooth serial devices using the BlueTooth library (included).

CASLpro (Palm) Events Library that allows detection of: the Five-Way navigator (DPad), Hard Power Off/On, Soft Power Off/On, Launch Handler (to prevent or allow application exit) and Pen Up/Down/Move.

Grid object with columns, which can be populated with label, textbox, button, checkbox, and dropdown objects. Each object may be bound to Database fields (or arrays) without writing any code.

Conduit for synchronizing PDA with the desktop computer (Hotsync® on PalmOS® and ActiveSync 4.x support on PocketPC / Windows Mobile).

Network socket access (HTTP, Telnet or TCP) for connecting to Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.

Serial port access.
