I'm running Book Reader, Geodraw, Text edit, Tetris, Calculator,
GeoDex, GeoComm and GeoPlanner. (Most need the additional RAM space
of the maxTotalHeapSpace mod).

Draw needs:
Bitmap Library
Bitmap Metafile...
Graphic Object
Spell Check Lib...
Spline library

Text edit needs:
Spell Check Lib...

Tetris:
Games Library

GeoDex:
SSheet Meta Li...

Book Reader:
Book Reader Lib...

Calculator, GeoPlanner, GeoComm:
nothing additional

Some of these will use various things in the IMPEX directory.

The FAQ says that GeoCalc will run on the Zoomer and I've brought over
the additional libraries it seems to want (Chart, Spreadsheet, + most
of the Draw needs), but I get a :

Unable to start the application
"GeoCalc": The application is
incompatible with this version of
the system software

Error Code: UI-16

Has anyone been able to get this to work?
