I hope not. I have been following the thread, and I am planning to update the NASS / Dialist Companion web pages to help people with handhelds to install and use DC. PocketDos sounds like it may be essential, and I suspect Richard is right - the Clock Screen will try to access PC video hadware directly - and not find it. Please post general comments to the list. Specific comments, and those about specific handhelds can be sent directly to me.
