Yes, GeoCalc v2.01 WILL work with the Zoomer. I'm running it as I type.
Here is the list of libraries I had to copy to the Zoomer to get everything to work. One note: not all of these are necessary for just GeoCalc. I also moved the text file editor, GeoComm, Graffiti and Tetris to the Zoomer's SRAM card. Play with the list as necessary. I'm too sleepy to try to figure it out right now. :)

Listing of C:\GEOWORKS\SYSTEM

Bitmap Library
C Stream Driver Library
Chart Library
Fixed Ink Object Library
Graphic Object Library
Game Library
Motif Specific Library
Palm HWR Library
Parse Library
PCComm Library
Spell Check Library
Spline Library
Spreadsheet Library
SSheet Meta Library

One final note: I got a "Main Batteries Low" warning and had to change the AA's while typing this. That wouldn't be too exciting except for the fact that this is the first time I've had to change the batteries since I bought this puppy in February. Not too bad huh. :)
