Subject: Travel chess with the Palm Pilot

Recently I bought a Palm Pilot III and was suprised how well it can be used
as travel chess machine with the free program pocket chess 1.1. The only
problem is its strength. The Pilot has a 68k 16 Mhz Processor with 2 MB
(will be 4MB with the next model very soon), a gnu gcc port
and an emulator for windows PCs are available. Has anyone tried to port a good
free program (crafty for instance) to this machine. Perhaps someone
can convince Richard Lang, who has written many good programs for the 68k
processor to produce a commercial program. There are millions of pilot users
out there, many would pay some money for a good chess program.
