If you made a program on DB or DBPro, would the final product be useable on a PDA (personal didgitial assistant a.k.a. palm pilot) equipped with windows' newest PDA OS? I am thinking that it probably would be, but only the 2D things. Anyone know a bit about this?

No - not a chance. PalmOS doesn't even have DirectX support - at least if it was a PocketPC device it would have (limited) DX support, but even then it still won't work. Sorry.

Cheers,

Rich is right, there's no chance. However there are many easy languages specifically for programming Palm and PocketPC games, just look on Google

best thing for a Palm pilot is JAVA ME you can get it for free at

http://java.sun.con

even if you the Palm pilot has the DX support most Palm have 2Mb of RAM and a DBpro exe file about 5Mb
