Multi-segment background application

I have a background application, which has no UI whatsoever, that has
unfortunately grown beyond the 64K segment limit.  I need to figure out
some way to call code accross segments, without being launched with
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch.  Specifically, I need to find a way to
launch myself with globals, and not trigger any UI at all (i.e.
SysAppUISwitch is not an option).  I'm using Codewarrior 9.3, and
targetting PalmOS 5.4, specifically the Treo 650.

Here's what I understand:

- You cannot call anything out of your first segment on a no-globals
launch.
- The above is true, no matter what magic you use in Codewarrior (e.g.
expanded mode doesn't help).
- You cannot call yourself using SysAppLaunch and pass
sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals, as that will eat up an owner ID every time
you do it.

So, do I have any options at all here?  Is there any way to get my app
launched in a context where I can call other segments, short of
SysAppUISwitch?  Surely there is a way to do this.

Thanks,
Gary

There are many options and all are essentially kludges but they work.  My
pToolSet's code is close to 1Mb now. It uses a bunch of different kludges but
they are all legitimate OS 5 approved unlike my LapTopHack which is a genuine
hack and patches dozens of OS functions. /PaulN

P.S. E.g., you could study the codes of some OS extensions and DAs.  A lots
of source code has been made public.

Good, I'm glad it can be done.  I was beginning to get a bit worried.
Is there anything more specific you might be able to point me to?

Get the source code of some DAs and some DA launchers. Google them. They can
be used for OS extensions too. I also use a lots of SysAppLaunch()'s. They
are very fast in OS5.
