And how do they compare against just coding the functions yourself? L1: MOVE.B (A0)+,(A1)+; DBRA D0,L1 is pretty tight. You can likely code basic versions of all of these in under 100 bytes of memory. If one uses the system functions, then there is system call overhead. OTOH, for OS5, the functions are implemented in ARM code which will run faster than an emulated loop. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
