JD3 is an alternative. If you translate the BASIC code of JD3 (the socket instructions of D3) to QM and you use the JD3 classes for .Net, I think you can write a real mobile application with QM on PDA. I don´t know if it is a good alternative.Usually, we write small applications with D3, JD3 (.Net classes) and .NET (desktop and web applications). We are analyzing the use JD3 withQM.Saludos,Marcos Alonso Vega I think there is an alternative.You can use sockets. JD3 is an alternative.
