Excellent.  I'm a PocketPC owner, and a happy one at that. ;-)  Are you porting
only Chess Tiger to PDAs, or Gambit Tiger too?  One way or another, this is
great news.  Thanks.

p.s. my Compaq Ipaq has 64Mb RAM, will I be able to use some 4-piece endgame
TBs? ;-)  I bet all the Palm owners are thinking, "don't worry, your batteries
won't last long enough to see the endgame..." ;-)
