In other words, you are replacing one limitation with another (i.e.
there is a limit to how wide the image can be.)

The only solution that will be added to the viewer is a solution that
doesn't add new limitations (except for available memory:)

If you check the archive you will see that my suggestion would be
able to display images of any size (well, it will be limited by the
size of the PDB, i.e. the number of records you can include:) I'm
sure my suggestion from back then can be improved (I have learned
a few more things about PalmOS programming since June 2000:)

I did write some code back then, but since there was no response on
the parser side (and I didn't really consider it to be that important
to turn the viewer into an image viewer) I "suspended" that work and
concentrated on other more important features... I did discuss it
with Bill when I met him at PARC in 2001, but I'm not sure if he has
put any more work into that particular feature (I haven't).

Anyway, your current suggestion will not be used, but don't throw away
the code. Maybe some part of it can be used for a solution that can
handle images that have been split in both directions (maybe you would
even be interested in implementing such a solution?) Still, it might
be a good idea to wait until we know what would be possible to create
in the parser...
