[yes, we got bored again] i guess we could get away with just checking for pre 5.0 units is there any "secret" way of detecting the AMX kernel *g* // az [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/
