You don't need to understand the OS to use the programs. For easiest install you can surf to their site with the phone and download it, then it will ask you if you want to install it. After it is installed you will find it among all other programs in your phone. Else (and cheaper) you install the program following the phone (on a CD) to your PC and follow their instruction how to install a program. It is maybe a little hasl to get it to view other pgn-files, you use your fileman to move the file to the correct directory. As for database, I made a try with using wap to view my NorBase database, it is general for all wap phones. The only problem I've got is that there seems to be some missmatch between my pgn-format and that in ChessGenius when using the copy and past option (for save to file first it's ok). I have only written this interface in Norwegian because the games are all with Norwegian players, but if someone want a fast view: direct your phone to http://norbase.sjakk.biz/wap.php . Odd Gunnar
