Interesting questions, all of them, Alan. It's unlikely that I use code from Mono or Portable .NET at this stage. I'm more of a C++ guy than a C one; got myself somewhat confused trying to read some of the source code of both projects. Yes, I know this is going to take me a loooong time, but frankly, I'm learning so much from this, that it's definitively worth it. And I fully expect the resulting application will also be worth the effort.
My policy on this project, also true of many other projects at work and/or on my free time, is this: Make it work, then make it work efficiently. Sometimes that means I will be coding twice or thrice the time that would be normally expected, but it lets me having things done earlier than expected, AND if any fundamental changes need to be made to the project, they could be easily made at that time. So, yes, I plan to implement pseudo-threading >>for now<<. It's quite probable that 68k projects will retain that threading model. As for native ARM apps, I'm currently exploring alternatives already implemented in other ARM-based devices that might work on Palm. Who knows? It might succeed. Of course, I WILL implement support for loading assemblies from media cards, in addition to the current model. I really wish to have both implemented on upCLeaR, and (for this time) I wanted to start with the "hardest" one, just to have it ready as soon as possible. So don't worry, sooner or later support for media cards will happen. Thanks, Alan, for your interest on the project! It is my intent the best of myself with the outcome of this project, so wish me luck! - Izhido -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
