well, memory is *very* strict on some units.. if you use DmWrite you normally need to have a copy of the data in ram somewhere.. (on dynamic heap).. using MemSemaphore...() kinda allows you to get around this little *feature* of the os :) but, you never know.. it may not work in future versions... we are prepared for doing "quick changes" :P // az [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ardiri.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
