If your PCMCIA card "mirrors" the GEOWORKS directory structure on the Zoomer
(ie: the applications on your PCMCIA card are reflected on your Zoomer's B: drive),
and your applications are all in the GEOWORKS\WORLD directory, then all you
need to to is stick your PCMCIA card (if it's SRAM, not FLASH) into your OmniGo.
Your applications will be displayed like all the others in the OmniGo.

(The OGO's launching program [I forget what it's called] doesn't report
subdirectories of WORLD ... but the Zoomer's file manager works pretty well on the
OGO and traverses directories with ease.)

PS - While I'm talking: If anyone circa North Carolina's RTP has the OmniGo SDK
and would be willing to show me how the parts fit together, I'd appreciate if you'd
drop me a note. I have yet to order the SDK, it may fill a computing need for me ...
but, I'm reluctant to buy it sight-unseen. Thanks.
