I guess I'm confused. If I do embedded programming for a micro, my compiler
goes from C to assembly as there is no OS running on the micro... But you're
saying that CW does not produce op codes for the specific hardware platform,
but mearly calls into the OS running on the platform? Then the OS coverts
those calls into op codes for the specific platform?

This statement in the OS5 ARM Programming PDF confuses me..

Because Palm OS functions are native and not emulated, PACE

result, most 68K applications will not benefit significantly from
being rewritten for ARM.

What are they referring to that is native then, as you are saying nothing is
native?

TIA and for your patience... ;c)
