John,
The Dialists Companion is a DOS program and, despite what the website says,
isn't compatible with any version of Windows CE.
However, if you're so at home with DC you want it on your palm-top you can
get PocketDOS from www.pocketdos.com which is a PC emulator which will run
on most palm-top PCs. I've used the earlier version and it really is a very
good emulator. Altogether costing pocket money really and you can trial it
first anyway.
What I'd like is Helmut's 'Sonne' for Pocket PC ...
Richard

Hello Richard:
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.
John
