*snip* I've got to catch up on my back reading ...
But I saw this and *had* to respond!
Example 2: Say I want to run NaviKey on my Palm Pilot*. The device has limited resources and I would prefer to use very small files if at all possible.
As you say, these problems will all go away someday.

*I only wish it were possible -- A few people have actually asked for this capability, as it would be handy to use such as program in the field.
It's probably not that far off. I found the program that Larry Morse first did for interactive specimen identification before I entered Grad School. It takes 64K to run. (At the time it probably had a limit of 64K for data too -- and that stretched the limits of the computer.) Most of your hand-help calculators have a memory of at least 64K now. How programmable *is* a Palm Pilot?
