Programmers should not rely on the OS to smooth over poorly written code. Programmers should also understand the specifications of the target OS and write code accordingly. I'm not saying that the current Palm OS couldn't be improved. I do think that using a piece of software that consistently misbehaves the way the OP says means something is very wrong. And it's not with the Palm. -- Regards, Doug -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

That time I changed from NCR-machines (and system) to IBM-machines (and /360) in the software development area, poor system compared to NCR. But... IBM had the better marketing :-( OS/2 had been a good system... but why people bought Win? juergen

Pity that there's no affordable system that can do it. There's certainly no PDA that can do it. -- David Cantrell | Godless Liberal Elitist EIN KIRCHE! EIN KREDO! EIN PAPST! |
