Free Memory-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The available free memory of SB it is depented by PalmOS version and
the size of the installed RAM.
Its stupid enough but the PalmOS separates the same RAM chip into
two different categories (one for dynamic heap (something like RAM
for PCs), and one for storage heap (something like disk for PCs)).

Examples:
With PalmOS 3.3
2MB there are ~30KB free memory
4MB there are ~92KB free memory
8MB there are ~200KB free memory

I have noticed that the PalmOS 3.5 versions gaves more memory.

The main problem with that is I can't write to 'storage' RAM by
using simple pointers (because they had locked it). The result is
very limited free memory for SB, and, the virtual memory of SB's
compiler swapping memory blocks in the same chip! (also, its using
a lot more memory and of course, this task reduce the speed).

See how much available RAM you have:

? "Total free memory:",round(fre(0)/1024);" KB"
? "Largest free memory block:",round(fre(-3)/1024);" KB"



PalmOS 5 port release notes-----------------------------------------------------------------------This SB version is a "quick & dirty" port of version 0.8.2, and thus it
has not been very thoroughtly tested and may have (many ?) bugs. Anyway, this version is just there
to help waiting the next major release of SB (0.9).

This version has been labelled 0.8.2b to avoid potential confusion with the regular 0.8.2 for PalmOS.

Supported features:
- 16 bits RGB colors
- HIRES graphics 320x320
- HIRES digitizer 320x320
- Palm Tungsten T/T2/T3
 

Unsupported features:
- HIRES fonts (planed for 0.9)
- HIRES above 320x320 as in T3 without DIA (planed after 0.9)
- ARMLET and other speed enhancements (planed after 0.9)
- SD cards (planed after 0.9)
- HIRES in text editor (planed after 0.9)

All bugs reports welcomed !
