VFS has lots of space for you to play with usually :) > Stupid question, I need to use the data on an SD card and the application in the Palms memory. So now the question, if an application resides in the Palms memory does it load into RAM or can it execute in the internal flash? The data sets I'm looking at are 700megs in size (not small by any means). > I have a fuly working port of Vincent, a full-featured implementation > of > OpenGL ES.

Mostly textured vertical planes (parallel to the screen surface) and colored polynomials with a few textures on a surfaces drawn afterward all triangles. Not complex or particularly demanding but still it does require certain features to exist. The biggest issue is will it work? Have you commited the changes needed for PalmOS to the Vincent SVN server?

I know garnet was being developed by a Chinese company which Palm Source procured (aquired?) Which reminds me. Be careful if you upgrade your Palm SDK to Eclipse 3.2... unless you don't want much of anything to work (mutter). I have to reinstall it seems, it also means I can't use the SVN client for Eclipse. (mutter mutter) why are people so quick to adopt the newest librarys for things and BREAK everything else? Hmmm. A step forward blows the whole deal situation. Eclipse 3.2 displays lovely screens of error failures in Java for all views on my projects because I was attempting to install subclipse in both Linux and Windows. I wish there were a 'back off' feature in Eclipse so you can undo the mess made by a change. (IE revision control for the libraries would be helpful). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
