It's great not to have to worry about remembering to free up the memory that you allocate and when to do it and in what order to do it. It's definitely one of the more programmer-friendly techniques to come along in the last decade or so. But the fact that you're deferring that task to the underlying engine means that you give up the ability to decide when it happens. And this can come back and bite you in real-time apps: in the middle of an action game, during a midi sequence, etc. It's supposed to happen during idle time, but I've had to hack my way around it in an embedded java system before... Just my two cents. I *am* looking forward to xcode 3.0. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
