The 64K data issue is completely unrelated to multi-segmenting. You are only allowed to have 32K of global/static data referenced from either side of the A4 register. Assuming your're using CodeWarrior, you can see how much space you're using by generating a link map from your last successful link (set this in the 68K Linker panel). Then look at your .tmp.MAP file and after all the code segment information, there is a line that tells you how much space you are takikng up above and below A5. Then, you can look at ways to decrease this. In the 68K Processor panel, check the box for PC-Relative Constant Data to move some of your constant data into the code segment. You might also benefit from using the new Expanded Mode in CW for Palm V8 (see http://www.metrowerks.com/pdf/Expanded_Mode.pdf for more details) since you're using C++. -hkmlt -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
