If your application <<requires>> the extra heap supported from 3.5 on, then you probably have to restrict it to 3.5 and newer. The primary base of pre-3.5 units are the non-upgradeable Handspring Visors running 3.1 If these people are potential users for your software then you have to make some tough decisions! (perhaps produce a cut down version without as much heap requirement) If not, you are home free. The other issue is relative memory size, such that even 3.5 and later units with small amounts of RAM (some 2MB units exist!) have smaller amounts of heap than the more normal 8MB and 16MB units. You may need to be aware of this. Roger Stringer Marietta Systems, Inc. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
