Re: More PDA questions

[William Cyr <fn19@yahoo.com>]

Allan,
I have used several products from Skyscape and
handheldmed.  The reader or ".prc" file is installed
on the handheld's main memory and the data files "pba"
or all other files except for the .prc file go on the
expansion card.  I have about 10 programs that are
loaded in this manner.  Including the Washington
manual, the davis drug guide, Kline's emergency
medicine handbook and several others.  Some of them
are 3 or 4 meg in total. But most of the files are on
the expansions chip.
Hope this helps.

Bill
