That means that use of ANSI lib calls is not encouraged on Palm OS as they
increase the code size.
Secondly we can use some header files as they only provide some macros and
type definitions.
I ve one more doubt in that case whether we can use set_new_handler to set
the memory handler.
I tried this in a test app by including <new> but it gives me compile time
error.So should i draw the onclusion that use of set_new_handler is not
encouraged for Palm OS
