Resco Locker is a utility that keeps applications locked in memory on NVFS systems. While Resco Locker can be formally used on non-NVFS systems, it cannot do anything useful there.

One of the most frequent problems faced by changes to the Palm OS programming with the implementation of NVFS is that the Palm databases are no longer fixed. That's exactly the problem that is targeted by Resco Locker.

As a side effect, applications locked in memory need less time to load, which in turn may increase the performance of your handheld.

Version History

v1.30.2

• No info available

V1.30.1

• Locking is compatible with the newest Palm models: T700p, T680.
• Added the possibility to lock overlays that override some ROM database, i.e. RAM databases of the type 'ovly' which have a ROM DB with the same name/creator/type.

Purpose:

Under NVFS unlocked RAM overlays can be discarded from the DbCache and Palm OS may start using the original ROM file instead.

V1.21

• Bug fix: DB protecting limited to the Palm TX applications only

V1.20

• Attribute "P" denotes protected databases.
• "!" marks apps that might be acting on background. (They receive typical notifications.)
• You can save DbCache space by locking the code segments only. (Concerns apps only.)
• DA's display DA launcher icon.
• Help.txt included into the .zip installer.

V1.10

• (Bug fix) Prevented trials to lock ROM-based DBs. (This results in a crash.)
• Typing a char causes cursor movement (if single-selection) or scroll (multi-selection) to the first app, whose name starts with given char. (Use with name sort order only.)
• DA's (Desk Accessories) locking enabled.
• Sorting by the lock state possible

V1.05

• 5way handling added

V1.04

• preference panels added to the application list.

V1.03

• a formal change: another correction of the DB attribute "L" (locked).

V1.02

• corrects occasional bad display of the DB attribute "L" (locked). This might have happened in the full DbCache state.

V1.01

• locks the whole applications instead of just the first records. Remaining databases are further on locked only partially, i.e. just the first record.
