You'd want PalmOS 6, which isn't really deployed anywhere yet. I suspect Arla would be a better starting point, but even that would be pretty shackled by pre-6.0 limitations. (Like, you can do some background stuff in 5.x, but a mail client I use regularly trashes the network stack and crashes my Treo --- not bugs in the client, just no real support for multitasking in PalmOS 5 so pretty much anything you do in the background is risky.) -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator [WAY too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon univ.
