I'm no expert on the details of the Data Manager internals, so I'm sure what
you're saying is true. But I don't understand something. I'm not trying to
be argumentative, but why is it that PalmSource doesn't seem to want to fix
this problem by providing a Glue function? There are certainly many
developers and applications who could benefit from it. You know it's a
problem and you have a fix for it. What is the reason for NOT providing a
Glue function?
