The PALM OS would be almost bearable with the substitution of a Newton type HWR. <br /><br />Bernie Hi Grant!

I’vfe always wondered if NOS’s HWR engine was proprietary or if it could be incorporated into another platform. The PALM OS would be almost bearable with the substitution of a Newton type HWR.
