I've had a variety of problems with large (>90K) multi-segment C++ apps. I
never resolved any of these problems. I observed a *large* number of things
that appeared to be inconsistent with the documentation, both Palm SDK and
Metrowerks.
This stuff is complicated, confusing and poorly documented enough that I'm
reluctant to blame it on MW or Palm; it very well could have been my error.
Every time I've had segment issues I screwed around with it until it
suddenly and inexplicably started working. Quite a frustrating experience
(compounded by some completely inaccurate statements in the MW docs).

Ben Flaumenhaft
