Subject: Re: Questions...

Speaking of an on device scripting language... I know it's a long shot
but has anyone written even the simplest scripting language for
MagicCap?
I assume I would have probably heard about it by now, but it never
hurts to ask.

Anyone interested in writing a basic compiler or interpreter that lives
in MagicCap?  Now that would be useful...

Subject: Re: Outfitters Direct

Can someone help me? I am trying to get in touch with the people at
Putfitters Direct regarding a memory card that I fedex'd to them, but they
have an answering machine and NImble Corp. seems to not exist in Seattle

Outfitters Direct people, if you are reading this, please let me know when
you will be sending back my memory card. I am lost without it, and I really
want to buy software from you.

Subject: WML on Envoy?

I remember reading on the list a few months ago that someone had tested the
Sony Wireless Modem Link software on an Envoy and it didn't work. I am curious
as to how intensive the test was, and whether it went beyond an initial
failure. Was the Wireless Toolbox package packed up beforehand, etc.

Ok, I'll bite.  What would you like to see?  What would the scripting
language do?
