   Ah, yes.  I forgot about that one.  I didn't necessarily list all the
clamshell PDA devices that I've heard that the old filePro will run on.  I
just gave the web link to the NEC unit as a general reference to what these
units looked like.

   And thanks for adding the word "PocketDOS", too, because I didn't have
access to all my email this afternoon, so I couldn't easily look it up.  

   I couldn't remember whether they added the DOS extenders in 4.0 or 4.1
(or whatever it was that made 4.5 and subsequent releases unusable on
PocketDOS.)

   I haven't done any new development along these lines for the past few
years. 

Thanks,

Mike Schwartz
