If the Notification Manager is present is can be set to broadcasts the sysNotifyTimeChangeEvent to your program, which will allow you to keep track of how much time has really elapsed..

But how secure do you need this to be? If you patch using a HackMaster hack, the user could simply disable the hack. You could have your own app patch that trap, but you need to be aware that a reset restores the original trap table, thus undoing your patch. You could handle the reset launch code and re-patch the trap there, but then users could do a "no-reset-notify" reset (holding down the hardware UP button while doing the reset). The bottom line is, there doesn't seem to be any foolproof way to void capabilities that are provided in the Palm ROM applications (such as changing time in Preferences). -- Roger Chaplin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/ -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
