Mike:  As I've said in previous posts here, I have filePro 4.1 working 
fine on my Pocket PC (T-Mobile MDA Pro, Windows Mobile 5).  I've given 
detailed instructions on how to install PocketDOS.  Unfortunately I do 
not think that newer versions of filePro will work--but, honestly, 
version 4.1 is all that I need to have when I'm on the road.  If 
necessary, I can use Windows Terminal Services client to connect to a 
Windows Terminal Server and use version 5.x or whatever.
