It seems ironic to me that programmers will now have to go back to optimising code for less powerful processors when up till now it's barely been a consideration, what with the sky-rocketing of PC processors. I hope efforts to make programs such as this work on PDA's will result in tighter code for the regular versions and hence lead to lower system specs. ... but I'm not holding my breath. Geoff.
