FYI -- I haven't gotten these programs to work yet on my phone, but perhaps someone else can.
Neither have I.

My problem is that my phone is a Treo, e.g. a Palm, and getting "midlets" to run on Palms is a problem if your computer doesn't run Windows. Although there used to be a platform-neutral way over this hurdle called Converter.jar, and I found a copy, the converted file doesn't know it should run with my Java runtime. There is a windows-specific converter that comes with the Java runtime I downloaded from Palm; I will try that on my roommate's computer. There is an older (2001) runtime, coeval with Converter.jar, that I should probably try also. I'll let y'all know which if any of these ideas work. In the mean time if anyone knows a modern, official, and especially non-Windows solution to this midlet-to-Palm problem, I'd appreciate a clue. --Steve
