For example the cross compiler for philips nino palm pc's (75 Mhz 32 register mips processor inside!) only runs windows NT 4.0 sp3, but it doesn't run if you have a higher servicepack. So with sp5 which i have currently installed, you can shake it. not to mention win98,win95 or NT2000. So to use a bit of an understatement, the support is real bad and it's working even worse. If you plan to look for a nino, note that NINOs are not buyable at all anymore in Europe. It's amazing that i managed to get one. >I think more than half a year ago, I have appealed in this forum for programmers >among you to produce a Palm version of your program, commercial or otherwise. >This is my 2nd appeal. >"Please..." Are you prepared to pay for a version that runs on a stupid small palmpc? note that chessprograms are about the only thing that might be a good idea to run on palms, but if you invest time and money to get a COMMERCIAL looking interface to work at it, then you sure do a lot of effort, and afterwards your bankrupt. >I think Chess Genius 1.2 is very successful and is capable of expert strength, >enough to challenge mortals like us.
