My intrepretation on why this is is actually a limitation of the size of each record on the PDB and the total amount of (stackable?) RAM available for running programs. Sorry if my terminolgy is off, I read about this in O'Rielly's Programming for the Palm.. which I dont have infront of me so I cant quote it exactly. But basically it has said to expect anywhere between 8k and 64k of memory to handle the programs functions; it wen't on to recommend to use 32k as resonable limit which would benifit the widest audience considering the current usage of palm. IE, this isn't something specific to plucker, but there might be some ways to cope. For example, im not sure if plucker is smart enough (or tried this already?) but it could be set up to call the first 32k 'packet' of data, display it, and when the user scrolls down past the limit, the program calls for the next 32k 'packet'... What do you developers think? .. BTW, correct me if I'm wrong on this :) -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.
