you *could* avoid the DmWrite procedure using MemSemaphoreReserve and MemSemaphoreRelease API's - but, they stop working on OS5+ however, on these devices, there are more memory. be very careful using these API's i am sure someone at palm is cringing in their seats for me even mentioning them here :) mis-use of these API's (ie: wild pointers) can render a device useless. DmWrite isn't that slow - the slowness is with all the checks to make sure you dont write to memory your not supposed to. if you are 100% in control of your pointers, you can avoid this API. use with caution tho :) --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
