Subject: ChitDrawer for PalmOS

Hi Everyone,

I have just completed a chit drawing program for DS2 that runs on PalmOS. It
is based on the chit drawing applet that I wrote, but this version requires
the Waba VM
<http://www.wabasoft.com>.

It has been tested on my Visor and works quite well. The random number
generator isn't perfect, but it is at least as good as the one shipped in Java
and most versions of the C standard library. So unless you are a cryptanalyst
who really needs to know the next chit drawn, you should be OK.

I see this as being a very useful play aid, since it runs on a device small
enough to be brought to the tabletop. My Java version was limited by the Java
environment, so needed at least a notebook.

I should be able to get it to run under WinCE. If you have one of these
devices, and you want the program, I may spend the few hours required to try
to make it work. Note that this is only for the Very Brave (TM), since you
will automatically assume the role of alpha tester... (I don't have or want a
WinCE device).

I will send out copies of the prc and pdb files to anyone
