I don't know whether the latest prc-tools package provides the includes for
the latest OS functions, but every package dealing with the Palms works
flawlessly for me (I own a PalmIII). You can try pose (PalmOS emulator for
X11), prc-tools and pilrc if you want to code some PalmOS applications, and
the indispensable pilot-link for the backup and installation of PalmOS
applications.
