I believe "Tricks of the Game Programmers II" or something like that has a bitmap rotating algorithm in it. It should be fairly trivial to port it to palm, however the speed at which a palm does it might leave something to be desired. As long as I'm here...what is the trick to getting the Palm Provider Pavilion to return your password and ID, I only sent it in some 2 months ago. I'm just going to keep asking until they give me it. I really, really need the 3.3 and 3.5 debug ROM's.
