That is true but those functions are not licensed to third party developers using the
PalmOS. Part of Palm's license agreement is
that only one thread may be used by third party development. Anything you do with
these calls is not documented nor supported from
Palm.
Also, there is a good chance that whatever you are trying to do, could break in the
next OS release if it works at all in your
application. If you are really hot to do something like this, wipe the Palm device of
the PalmOS, license the AMX kernel yourself
and have all the threads you want. Unfortunately, Palm is not in a position to
support this.
