I understand that there is a way to call the native ARM APIs in Garnet (OS 5.x), but you're not supposed to use it. If you need better performance than you can get from the 68K emulator (which really is pretty fast, emulated 68K code on most ARM devices runs as fast as it did on 68K devices, and the OS calls are all much, much faster). -- Joseph Lunderville -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
