Thank you Dave; your answer makes a lot of sense.
I'll check with the TR people and report here.

Re licensing fees: Philips will probably port
their ProntoLite siftware to this platform. They
must be beginning to feel really uneasy with the
new PocketPCs with CIR, color, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
:-)

OTOH I checked with the OmniRemote poeple (Palm
soft.): no intention of porting it to PPCs.

Thanks.
