Palm pilot development uses C-Code and CodeWarrior.  The development package
costs $500.

Actually, I believe the Palm program would have to be in PRC format
(whatever that is) for some models.  Other models run Windows CE,
so that would be an easy conversion.

If I understand our software guy correctly, a program can be written
in C and compiled to the PRC format.

I found a shareware spreadsheet for the Palm Pilot at the
TOUCOWS website.  It is called Tiny Sheet, and literaly you can
only see a dozen cells at most at one time.  It supposedly can
import and export Excell sheets, which is good since I have four
WKS sheets (that can be converted to XLS) that are pretty nearly
complete.  I have used them to spit out random characters for new
players and NPCs.

1) I have a d10 random generator that spits out all the stats,
weapons, Special Roles, etc.

2) Also, same sheet except that you have to roll your own Fruits,
Strength and Agility and input them.

3) A d5 generator like 1) above.

4) A d5 like 2) above.

I have not had time to finish them, so don't ask until I finish the
AMM editing in a month or so.
