OK Ben. Thank you for the information. That white paper came in handy; although, I do have another question as a result of reading it.
I turned on the "PC-Relative Constant Data" switch in the settings panel and made certain that all of my globals that I was concerned about were declared as const and I even got rid of the pointers inside of these const structs just as the white paper informed. Well, the number on the data side went down to 0, so I thought it had worked. Well, upon rebuilding the project, I get the following warnings (which sound serious): "Segment 'Data Segment 2' is greater than 64K, it will generate an invalid PRC file." AND "PalmRez Warning: Output resource size is greater than ~64K size limit: 'code 3'" Like I mentioned in the previous email, I split my project into 5 segments. "Data Segment 2" used have 29K of data and 0K of code. Now, after the PC-Relative Constant Data switch, both the code and data are listed as 0K. The funny thing is that it is not complaining about Data Segment 1, which is basically the same as Data Segment 2 - it just has fewer files. Oh well. Thank you again for your time.
