Re: [iPAQ] 0.17beta issues

BTW: Python on the iPAQ is now working...with gtk bindings...and libglade
support...
  
;-) ;-) Give up on Java ;-) ;-)
  
Also I am going to start porting PySol to gtk, instead of Tk...This would give
the iPAQ the BEST Solitaire games available....

More Python on iPAQ info here:
http://www.handhelds.org/minihowto/python-ipaq.html
(It's only a start so email me if you have any questions.)

For some PySol info check here: http://pysol.tsx.org
Support's a LOT of Solitaire and Mahjongg games...
