Guikachu is a resource editor for PalmOSTM systems. Guikachu project allows you to visually create dialog boxes, menu bars and windows for your Palm application in the GNOME desktop environment.
If you are familiar with PalmOS development, you may have encountered one of the numerous resource editors running in the Windows or MacOS operating environments, and wished for a UNIX application that does the same, because it is your operating system of choice. Or maybe you've always created RCP files by hand and wondered if there's an easier and faster way.
Guikachu is a PalmOS resource editor that runs in the UNIX environment, using the GNOME desktop framework. At the time of writing this manual, Guikachu is the only PalmOS resource editor application for UNIX systems. If you've used Glade, a user interface editor for GNOME, the interface of Guikachu will look familiar.
