    Well, GeoWorks 2.0 has a simple flat database package that you could use
to create your own forms.  My first exercise when I get my connection kit
is to upload the GeoWorks apps and see if they run on the Zoomer.

    I was browsing AOL last night and saw that Casio has acknolwedged a memory
leak in the Zoomer when switching between apps.  Apparently, every time you see
the "Please wait, starting <whatever>" message, the system loses 200-500 bytes
of memory.  The only fix is to periodically reset your machine when the 
memory free drops down to 60% or lower.  The memory drain will affect
performance, slowing things down.
