We are about to finish a military application that runs on a ruggedised iPAQ. It uses a military radio for data communications and this protocol is 100 % Ada. Only the GUI part is Java. Because the protocol was implemented in Ada, We could use the same code on a Windows NT box :-) "John Kern" wrote in message news:3da62ce4$0$1428$272ea4a1@news.execpc.com... > If you are already prepared to use Java for the Palm computer, you might > want to check out the > JGNAT to Palmtm Demo > available on the ACT website at the bottom of this page: > http://www.gnat.com/texts/products/prod_java.htm > I downloaded it a while back, but haven't yet had the time to get it > working. > > Adrian Hoe wrote: > > > Richard Riehle wrote: > > > > > In a conversation with a colleague yesterday, the topic > > > of PDA's came up, yet again.
