I am using Cocoa and ProjectBuilder, and want to do some Palm conduit

However, Palm's Conduit Development Kit seems to be a Codewarrior Pro

with
OS X DevTools. What are my options (other than buying Codewarrior?) I
don't want to give up my Cocoa and Project Builder.
Sounds like you need to bug Palm. Good luck.

I just wanted to post an update in case people are interested. Someone
from Palm recently de-lurked on cocoa-dev with an unrelated question. I
emailed him and I got a kind of encouraging response from him and other
developer at palm. Thanks Jeff Shulman and Cole Goeppinger of Palm if
you are out there.
Summary of their response:
re: Codewarrior: The docs for the Conduit Dev Kit state that Codewarrior
is "required' only because that's what they test with and offer
development support for. They think it should be possible with Project
Builder but haven't made the effort to prove the concept. They would be
very interested in hearing about it if someone succeeds in writing a
palm conduit with ProjectBuilder.
re: conduits
CDK is Carbon based
"From the HotSync perspective a conduit is just a bundle with some known
entry points."
re: hotsync
The Sync API is in a CFM shared library.
"We only provide a CFM shared library to link with. You would probably
either have to dynamically load this library yourself (the way Carbon
apps need to do with Frameworks and make sure you use CFM calling
conventions) or program up some kind of shim."
So, it should be possibly to write a Cocoa framework around these
puppies, but my C++ fu is not that strong and I'm not sure I'm up to the
task.
