Re: Expanded Mode, Segments and Invalid Pointers

I checked and I had not swapped the runtimes. I still had
PalmOSRuntime_2i_A5.lib included in the project. I removed it and added
PalmOSRuntine_2i_A4A5.lib, removed the object code from all targets and
recompiled. When I debug the same section of code I mentioned in my initial
post, I see that once the Char* has memory allocated to it, it is then a valid
pointer. Thanks!

I read your post on the palm-dev-forum archive site
(http://www.mail-archive.com/palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com/msg40853.html) that
says that expanded mode only really helps C++ apps. Can you clarify? This app is
currently a C app but has a lot of global arrays and such (Segment tab reports a
Data column total of 69K over 4 segments) - I would like to eliminate as much of
these as possible except where it hurts performance.

If expanded mode is not going to help the project with regard to the amount of
global variable storage then I will switch back to Standard Mode. Can you add a
bit more on that? Like I said, I would like to read that white paper but the
link is gone and I can't find the doc. 

By the way the project is still using the Macintosh 68K Linker and PalmRez Post
Linker. I don't really want to have to change over all the resources to .rcp. I
don't find PilRC easier to use than Constructor and from the instructions you
gave on PalmOSWerks, it seems a requirement to switch to .rcp if switching to
Palm OS 68K Linker.
