One thing I never understood about commercial software is why doesn't it offer full versions with very slight limitations and clear conditions you have to purchase it if you are commercially using it. I think CW would have got a whole lot more users if they had released the full-blown version with, say, disabled optimizations, or with debug information always on. Catapult's public version only has two copyright lines to distinguish it from the Commercial version and seems to be doing very well. CW8 is a whole lot better in working with the emulator. It also has the famous a4-based support that gcc has been perking with for some time, but somehow I had always managed to get without it. I think it's still a rough patch in both implementations and the need to manually take care of setting the proper value in the system callbacks is...well, awful. - bobby -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
