---Reply to mail from Blake Winton about Tables Conversion Blake:
Maybe this is why we haven't really supported table so far. <G>
Example:
It takes one of our Data Display Modules at work 4 seconds to render a simple
10x5 table in a web page. It has a 133Mhz 586 processor. Given that it's 8
times as fast as a Palm, that means 32 seconds to render a simple table.
(Forgetting that the palm has no math co-processor). If we could do it in
a timely fashion, I'm all for it. We need to have the desktop do as much
of the work as possible.
BTW: the same page renders in the blink of an eye on my desktop).
I've attached a copy of the file, so you can render it with the palm
renderer and we'll have a benchmark.

Yes, but first I'll refer you to the viewer code DoImageMove() in
viewer.c. We'd keep track of the link locations in the big table and copy
them to the screen when they are visible. Of course if you can see the
whole table, they'd already be there.
