Can you put the dictionary/thesaurus on the SD card?
RE: WordSmith - Details on upgrade
I do not have enough flash memory to also move the Dictionary but it would probably work there as well.
RE: WordSmith - Details on upgrade
1)Unfortunately my experience is that WS and all its files have to be in RAM to work properly. I've heard people mention successful solutions using PIDirect, but I'm a AutoCF/Megalauncher user, so I'm not sure how they're doing it.
2) I had troubles with the new spell check also, and I was in the middle of composing an email to bluenomad when, on a whim, I tried removing my old user dictionaries to see if that would help. Sure enough, there seemed to be a compaibility issue with the new version and the old user dics, so now it works fine.
3)Fast VFS Save means that the PDA saves to its own RAM before saving to the card. It takes up a chunk of memory, but it's supposedly a little faster (f.y.i, hit the little "i" in the right corner of that menu screen and it'll tell you about it; just so ya know :-)

Monopoly
This is an amazing replica of Monopoly. The game play is fast (the computer players don't waste time thinking about whether to buy or not), the rules for Monopoly are authentic (auctions, rolling doubles to get out of jail, etc.), and multiplayer play via IR is a blast as well. The graphics are great for a Palm m505, although somewhere down the line, a 320 X 320 version would be nice too. But, we take what we have, and this game does that, and then some...
For those interested in buying this game for less than $29.95, if you buy from the company website (use the PIC link above), and use "monopoly20off" as your coupon code (no quotes), this will discount your order by 20%. Order before tomorrow though!

RE: Monopoly
Can I make a software that is similar to Monopoly,
but call it a different name without causing
any legal trouble?
My interest is more in other games. There are
many wonderful games that are not on Palms yet,
I just wonder how to proceed if I am interested
to make one of those on Palm.

RE: Monopoly
I would really like to try a demo of Monopoly as I don't like buying palm software i cant try, the quality is very variable.
