I'm a big fan of Object Library for Palm OS. See my review at http://www.palmoswerks.com/stories/storyReader$24. I also like Tilo Christ's Razor for game development. See http://www.palmoswerks.com/stories/storyReader$23. C++ can be wasteful, but it doesn't have to be. My talk at PalmSource 2002 was about how to write C++ code for the device that doesn't incur a big overhead. The authors of POL did a good job of reducing the number of virtual methods used to a minimum, plus using inline code only when it really will reduce total code size. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Get help at http://palmoswerks.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
