James - thanks, but I'm only interested in PRC-tools libraries, and if you're not explicitly aware of using them in a multi-segmented way, you've probably got the same alpha version that I do. Symbol doesn't exactly, or at all, support PRC-tools, but they did make this available for all us gluttons-for-punishment. And, although I don't want to attract the ire of the CodeWarrior developers or zealots on the list, we're a real business too, and we prefer the PRC-tools approach to life. Try generating project files, dynamically assigning segments, and building PRCs *from the command line* using CodeWarrior. I'm pretty sure it's possible, but CW would get in my way as much as it would help, I think. Such is life when you have strange/different requirements....
