It's good to know that at least one of you has had success using a sun
program with a palm-held devise. There is hope!
I don't know much about these minicomputers. Do you think all types
hand-held devices will work? Could you recommend a brand and model number?
Ideally, it would be good to find one that works with Dialist Companion
also.

I've transferred the 'Ubisol' page to my pocket PC and it works OK. Palm
devices don't generally allow pop-ups which the page uses for changing
your
co-ordinates but you can just type them in the form fields and hit Enter.
You do need to have Javascript enabled for it to work.

On my crummy cell phone that has limited internet capacity, I was not able
to use either the BSS "Where's the sun" or the Spanish "Ubisol" website
that
Anselmo mentioned.
Has anyone had any success using these two websites on a palm-held
computer?
How about Dialist Companion?
thanks,
John

Hi All,
I am the BSS Webmaster and created that new page on the BSS Web
site. From the home page, click on "Where is the sun?". It uses
Javascript embedded in the page, and takes the time from your
computer's clock, so you could make the page available offline if
you wished. It should run in any current browser, I trust, but
please let me know if you have problems.
Dear all,
"Where is the sun?" has got a (probably unnoticed) elder brother
in
http://www.relojesdesol.org/UbiSolENG.html
It works also as an embedded JavaScript and updates automatically.
I've tried to make the code simple enough to be easily hacked by any
interested user (see file UbiSol.js).
Let's hope that the eldest brother, that is, "Dialist Companion"
soon goes down to the earthly kingdom of JS scripts.
Ah, and congratulations, Chris, and thanks: I've taken some ideas from
it for future versions of UbiSol! :-))))
Anselmo
