This is the disk label of the "real" Geos 2.0 SDK (Target platforms: Zoomer,
Ensemble); the OmniGo CD would have no label, but a directory named OMNIGO in
the root.

One thing to keep in mind (it got me confused more than once...): in some cases,
files copied from CD to hard disk will have the "read only" attribute set on the
destination files. Obviously, Geos will not run with the INI file and others
being read only, so the loader dies with some strange error message... resetting
the r/o attribute ("ATTRIB -r *.*" on all directories or "ATTRIB -r *.* /S" if
you're using a DOS version supporting the "/S" switch on the ATTRIB command)
should fix that problem.

ps: Talking about SDKs and reading Nathan's posts regarding the Nokia 9000 SDK -
is it available yet, and, if so, at what cost? I found some hints on
http://www.geoworks.com, but no prices, except for a version including a
five-day training course...
