Java has been looked at but is still a bit too big and slow. Hence stick with C :) Regarding memory usage I can only speak for the embedded market that I work in, which is telecom/datacom and process industry. My average customer today runs anything from a 50Mhz MPC8xx (pretty slow) to a 300Mhz MPC750 (fast) and with anything from 4 to 128 meg ram, i.e. not the smallest nische of the embedded market. They have as much rom/flash as they need but generally much less than the ram. I know there are many embedded applications with much less memory and with weaker CPUs but I have problem seeing them running CPU/memory intensitive applications such as software encryption/authentication with decent Internet throughput. To give you an example, RTOS (OSE) with embedded filesystem, TCP/IP stack, ftp, telnet, dns, tftp, web server and the complete openssl code with test system is 1.6 meg on a mpc8xx. With 4 meg memory this leaves 2.4 for heap. The majority of that spaced is used (looking at peak usage only). I hear customers mentioning WAP more and more but have nothing concrete on WTLS yet, hence I have no exact demands to quote. So in short, I think anything smaller (rom/ram) is nice but not critical since even the embedded systems of today are growing fatware :) Regards, Lennart Bang [EMAIL PROTECTED]
