the VoidHand 'vs Handle situation technically speaking is a matter
of interpretation.. they act the same when being treated in their
pure form.. it is just when you want to use the component data type
that you require casting with the VoidHandle - the Handle is built
for managing memory address locations (bytes).
maybe i missed the question that required *new* answers.. i was
answering primarially the VoidHand vs Handle question.. not the othe
questions.. unless there is something i dont know about the PalmOS
relating to these two pointer handles - that was 100% answerable
without bringing anything new up.
:) no offense was intended.. i look forward to reading the proceedings
when i finally receive them. :)
cheers.
