This works well, actually, on all 3.5/4.x devices and to-date have experience no ill effects. However in OS/5 the Simulator blows up big time at the MemPtrSize() function. If there's a better way to get the size of the bitmap, I'm open to it.
On a side note, has anyone published anything that discusses how programs that scribble on the screen can capture the screen or portions from in PalmOS 5 and what we'll need to do to make that compatible with earlier versions? And backwards?Well, the answer to that is definitely "don't do that". That is, don't try to copy *from* the screen. Instead, draw to an offscreen buffer and copy that *to* the screen.
