Jeff, While we have you around, I wondered if you were doing any new development on Shadow, and particularly on the Windows version. I keep hoping for a version that has more of the abilities of the Palm version, including outlining formats and icon use. Maybe you should take a page from CESD and consider developing a new multi-platform version of Shadow. Clearly the two dominant handhelds are the iPhone and Blackberry, so you want to be on both of those, and an expanded Windows version should also have a market. I certainly would be happy to buy a new license for a windows version with functionality closer to that on the Palm.

I actualy shut down my FreeBSD dev environment awhile back, so it'd take some doing to get things set up; I do use a 5.4-RELEASE descended boix quite a bit so could perhaps build it there.. but its probably easier for you to use the Linux bindings on that. Theres a few FreeBSD folks around, but seems like Linux has more desktop users, while FreeBSD is still doing strong in the server side. (Myself, I'm a FreeBSD man mostly, though Gentoo has a similar mindset. I don't care so much for Ubuntu and its ilk.) jeff -- If everyone would put barbecue sauce on their food, there would be no war. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
