In a multisegment application, only the first segment is loaded by the OS. All of the other segments are loaded by the runtime library provided by the compiler vendor. Because of this, you must link the runtime library into your first segment. You will also want to be sure to have PilotMain in the first segment, since the runtime will always call this function, but the other segments may not be loaded if your application is handling a command without access to global variables. In general, globals work in a multisegment program. The one exception is constant globals. Depending on your compiler and its settings, these may be compiled into the code segment, and would only be accessible from code in the same segment as the variable definition. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
