Hi Chris,

Well, your "past experience" is spot on - I was hired for my C experience 
(Windows and Unix), but all my effort has been
focused on getting the Development Environment to work right.  I'm about 4 
weeks into it and finding the going VERY slow as
every aspect of the project is foreign to me except for the C code.  I will 
forward your e-mail to my client and he may very
well consider contacting you to develop the project.  I agreed to the project 
because it was supposed to be just maintenance,
but then Palm.Net went down and the tool has to be re-written.  I was already 
"on-board", so it fell to me.

Upgrading CodeWarrior involves also upgrading the development machine I was 
given, so it's more than just the money for the
product.  I may be out of my league here, but I want to see if the system I 
described can be made to work.  I think it should,
but my understanding is limited.

Thanks for the offer.

Bye,

John
