I'm writing an app in which I would like to display a color bit map that is much larger than 64K. This is easily accomplished on a PocketPC but not on a Palm. Numerous books state that 64K is the upper size limit on being able to transfer the file to the Palm by a hot-sync operation. I have found this to be true.
I have a Sony Clie running Palm OS 4.1. Sony has an application called "PictureGear" on the desktop. This application compresses picture files. These files are bigger than 64K. I have one 8 bit picture that is 205K. There isn't any problem in downloading this file by a hot-sync. Sony's "PG Pocket" app on the Clie displays this picture using hi-res graphics. It really looks good. What magic is going on here? Can anyone lead me in the direction as to what API functions to look at and/or the methodology to jump the 64K barrier? Is this special to the Sony variant of Palm OS 4.1? Thank you -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
