That's what I'm doing now in dynamic RAM. It would be a (relatively) simple translation to using a database that way, but you're right... it's not very compact. What I was talking about instead was allocating one record of a specific size to hold all of the lines for one window (managing the line data within the record myself) and having one of those per window. It would be possible to try the first way (one record per line) to start with and see what the performance is like, since it would be simpler, and then work on the second way (one record per window) and see what kind of a performance increase (if any) that gave me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator "Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye." -Cypher -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
