I downloaded and tried the latest version of dasher under GTK on linux - it is even better now. I would dearly love to have dasher on my mobile phone (cell phone) - it would be vastly superior to the usual abc (cycling letters) and T9 (predictive letters) methods of entering text, which are slow, cumbersome and hard on the thumb. I suspect it would be much better that the Graffiti handwritten letter recognition system used on my PalmPilot too. If it is good on a PalmPilot, then it would be good on other PDAs. The question of whether it is suitable for entering notes and orders in a clinical application, which is used on ward rounds and in other time-pressured settings (all of clinical medicine and nursing is time-pressured...) really needs to be answered with some formal, empirical trials. The really nice thing is that it is an open source product. -- Tim C PGP/GnuPG Key 1024D/EAF993D0 available from keyservers everywhere or at http://members.optushome.com.au/tchur/pubkey.asc Key fingerprint = 8C22 BF76 33BA B3B5 1D5B EB37 7891 46A9 EAF9 93D0
