You shouldn't either -- 60-70M footprint code won't run on a pilot, so the point about the size of your code is rather moot as well. > ps.

Tim Wilkerson's Kaffe code will run on a DOS machine in less memory than is available on a Palm pilot. In addition, the unslotted RAM on an unexpanded Pilot is sufficient for a JVM implementation in an EEPROM, since the pinout is equal to that of amny EEPROM parts.
