this is a Metrowerks specific file, and, most likely, you'll link it. its all the startup code for your application. there are different libraries depending on what type of application you have (multisegment etc) a bit of background on this.. when the launcher starts your program, it doesn't jump straight to PilotMain() :) actually, the entrant point is normally called _start (gcc) and, for CW i dont remember the name of the top of my head :) these .lib files contain these routines to ensure all your code resources, globals variables, data spaces etc etc are all loaded correctly. then, eventually, it makes a call to PilotMain() in regards to creating small programs, yes, you can do it - however, if you want globals and multiple code segments, you'll need something like this library to link against :) most of the demo's submitted in the competition (http://www.mobilewizardry.com/palm/contest/) were actually not linking to this library. all applications normally have to do this, regardless :) if you are doing something in NSBasic, maybe their "runtime" is doing it? :) you cannot avoid it unless you are not doing much with the program :P >> MathLib.prc > > I have used MathLib once, for a very, very small program.
