Hi,

we're still working on the next version, but if you want to edit bitmaps
and view them on your Pocket PC, you could also use a "Resource-Editor",
which shows the bitmaps used by an executable.
I tried ResHack:

http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

You can start ResHack and open
PocketGrandmaster_StrongARM\PocketGrandmaster.exe with it.
It shows a tree-view of the resources used by PocketGrandmaster.
ResHack allows you to view, save and replace (!) bitmaps. After replacing
e.g. bitmap XY with new (changed) pieces you can just copy
PocketGrandmaster.exe to the programs\PocketGrandmaster\ folder on
your Pocket PC or run PocketGrandmasters Setup.exe again. Then you
can start PocketGrandmaster on your Pocket PC and see how the new
pieces look like.
