I have a program that uses global variables for in-program data work. The
program seems to be okay, however now I have had to move the program into a
multi-segmented app to allow for me to use more memory storage than is
available in one segment.
My problem is that I populate the variables from storage files that I create
on the palm unit at the end of the program run. To explain :-
Read Data into variables
Run Program Code
Write Variables to file.
This means that the multi-segmented approach to working with the data is not
possible, as far as I can see. So my questions are twofold :-
1) Is it possible to do this, if so how?
2) Is there a faster way of reading the data on the palm unit?
I require three different listings, each around 500 bytes per record with at
least 500 possible records in each field. I know that I will need at least
244k for each data structure, but I cannot seem to figure out a way in which
I can read that data inside the program at a usable speed. The program does
have to run faster than someone looking through a book for the same
information, or even writing the information down on a piece of paper, that
is why we need to write the program :-)
