Thank you, this info (and your other mail about 64K chunks) is very helpful.
I CAN add a bigger bigger bitmaps to the end of the family. Well, not
exactly, they're taking the place of 16-bit bitmaps and then get their data
address manually from the family and pass them to my custom blitter, but I
assume that the PalmOS draw functions will confuse these with 16-bit
'normal' bitmaps, so it's probably not the best idea...
Anyway, my project manager has decided that we're not going to do 320x320
after all, so I am now free of all this stuff.
Cheers,
Idries
