It's a wonderful system.

I intend not to use RTTI. It does increase the size of the apps, I haven't noted any compromise in speed. > - Are new PalmOS APIs supported (e.g. Treo wireless communication, sound, ...)?

It is possible to extend it. The source code is provided. Highly recommended. -- _____________________ Matt DeCaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
