I'm working on an optional plug-in for an app I've been working on. The app up to this point works fine on OS 3.0 and later. With the plug-in loaded, though, it's probably going to require more dynamic heap space than that OS version provides.
What I'm wondering is how to guage the size of the dynamic heap, so I'll know whether to try and load the plug-in. My first thought was to check the version and possibly the amount of memory in the device (would just be a total of the sizes of all the heaps, right?). I started remembering, though, that it was possible for licensees to change the size of the dynamic heap, so would getting the size of that heap be the better way? This just adds one more reason for the optional thing to be optional... if you can't use it, why have it around chewing up storage space? :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator In the beginning there was nothing.
