Too bad i can't run my windows code on the FreeBSD shell, or i'd be able to
show you some. The only reason i don't have a cheapie PDA is because i
can't program it in Eu or mirc, altho Dialect will program a WinCE and it's
free with free source too.... someone must have shown them a use for it,, oh
wait, Aristar has their own reason, they make $$$$$ with their medical stuff,
including the PDAs the doctors carry.
Kat,
