Well I never said you could use everyting possible in C++. You have to be a
little careful. I do have a shared library written in C++. I do have a
shared library written in C++ and it even has its own UI for some functions
(but then I've been doing this for 35 years, it is probably something that
the novice might want to stay away from)

while searching for a solution, i've found this e-mail posted on a deja.com

I don't know if it's still up to date.
/***********************************************/
You cannot use C++ in Palm OS shared libraries for the same reasons you
can't use globals and statics -- there's no automatic A5 globals, and no
resource db switching and loading mechanism. You are therefore limited to
pure C and 68k Assembly.
