OK, not perfectly. The clock page doesn't work at all. I'm guessing it's trying to access the hardware directly.

You have to install DC on your PC then copy the files across. The install program won't run under PocketDOS. (DC runs under Pocket DOS not Windows CE) My Pocket PC is an HP Ipaq 4700, an expensive beast but that's what unexpected bonuses are for. I'll play with the Dialists Companion now so talk to you later :-) Richard -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Hollands Sent: 09 May 2005 22:18 To: John Carmichael; Sundial List Subject: RE: Handheld dialing software; BSS Web site 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 ...

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.
