hey, i use that API a lot :) heh.. but, you gotta do it sometimes :) its not a "never use it", its a "use it if you are 100% sure you know what your doing" type API :) as for the original problem.. maybe time to implemnet your own dynamic ram manager.. use a cache database to store ram that has been allocated that is currently not needed.. and, then, free it.. allocate what you need.. use it, free it.. restore from database.. // az "mr evil... - accepting free beers @ palmsource" :) [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/
