And which I'll answer again so we can end this thread... We've rolled our own kernel in Palm OS 5. It's affectionately known as "MCK" after its author. All the same KADAK restrictions still apply to 3rd party developers -- e.g. no additional background threads, timers, semaphores, etc. Those sorts of dynamic allocation capabilities will be addressed in a future release of the Palm OS... just not in our initial v5.0.
