All objects get a vtable added to the front of the "structure" they are
stored in, but this is not your major concern - if you are moving from a
machine that does not have the same endianess as the palm, an objects
become corrupt. The same will be true if you move from a machine with a
different word size, regardless of the endianess. There may even be
differences between the C++ runtime on the Palm and any other OS (I'm not
saying there are, just that there could be - it's not a safe assumption to
make).
If you are never going to use the objects on the Palm, i.e. only within
your conduit, you can do whatever you like.
