App in RAM, library on the PCMCIA card.



Q. If my application resides on the internal RAM disk of the Casio
   Z-7000/Tandy Z-PDA, but uses a library located on a PCMCIA card,
   what happens if the card is removed while the library is still in
   use?

A. If an on-card library is to be used by a not-on-card application, then
   either the not-on-card application needs to watch for META_REMOVING_DISK
   messages on behalf of the library (as Preferences now does) or the
   library itself has to arrange to be on the GCNSLT_FILE_SYSTEM list
   (i.e. have an event-driven thread or an object run by the application)
   that watches for such notifications and forces the client application
   to shut down.
