AFAIK none exists and it is unlikely that one could either. Besides several technical limitations exist in memory and stuff that makes handling of larger DBs inconvenient. At least I think that it's almost impossible to just run the normal scid even if tcl/tk exists.

I'd agree here as sad as it is. The closest thing to come to Palm support is to interface wiht Palm OpenChess. It makes a pretty good game viewer, knows handling of variants and stuff and comes with some decent analysis engines. Unfortunately the converter from pgn -> OC's PDBs is closed source binary only. But I'll try again to ask Olaf to open it up. At least an "export filter to PDB" would be possible by calling the external tool. Another option would be Hiarcs for Palm, but as a commercial program it might be a target to interface to it's pgn converter but OC would have the advantage of being OS. An outbound interface to sme external convertor is on my personal wishlist. Especially the OC integration. I'll see wether I understand enough of scid to do that one in the medium run. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
