this makes the code very compiler dependent :(( my aim was to get a setup where i could compile on both prc-tools and codewarrior. this __DummyStartup__ idea provides me with nothing useful from a maintainability standpoint :) having true cross-compiler support would be a dream.. and, i'll keep on dreaming *g* - for now, my "developers" are forced to use prc-tools (which, isn't that bad) :P :) // 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/support/forums/
