WordDraw Frequently Asked Questions List

• Question: What models of PalmPilot does WordDraw run on?

  Answer: WordDraw runs on any PDA or cell phone that runs PalmOS 2.0 or higher. This includes all known PalmOS devices from Palm, Sony, and others except the Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000. Color, grayscale, and black and white devices are all supported.

• Question: How much memory does WordDraw require?

  Answer: WordDraw (WordDraw.prc) takes under 60 Kb and the bundled modules take about an additional 30 Kb.

• Question: Can WordDraw run from an external card?

  Answer: The WordDraw application (WordDraw.prc) and word lists (WD_*.pdb) can be stored on any external card (SD, MMC, memory stick, or compact flash). WordDraw is VFS-enhanced. The dynamically created preferences file ("WordDraw Prefs.pdb") should not be placed on an external card since it needs to be written to.

• Question: Is WordDraw flash-compatible?

  Answer: The WordDraw application (WordDraw.prc) can be placed in flash memory using JackFlash, FlashPro, or any other flash utility. The dynamically created preferences file ("WordDraw Prefs.pdb") should not be placed into flash (including HandSpring Flash Modules) since it needs to be written to.

• Question: What other Palm applications have you written?

  Answer: I have written several other shareware and commercial programs, including:

  • Alphabet Rhyme Time - a fun way to learn the alphabet
  • BabyMelodyPilot - a music, lyrics, and graphics program for all ages
  • LetterDraw - a letter and number writing educational program
  • TotTutor - a more general educational program for infants from about 6 months to 5 years old
  • Triv - the ultimate 7-in-1 trivia game with over 25,000 questions
