You can run GEOWorks on any x86 machine as you can just get the software,
though you have to usually pay for it, but it will, and some people do run
it on the IBM PC110, which is color, and has a pointing device.

Hi Dirk,

Geoworks (Ensemble, etc.) will run on any x86 based machine and it may run
on DOS emulators (like DOSemu for Linux, XTCE for WinCE...).

Geoworks is the genuine OS of several PDA : Casio/Tandy/Grid Zoomer, HP
Omnigo, Nokia 9000, Sharp PT9000, etc.

Geoworks Ensemble for the Desktop PC is now sold by New Deal inc
(http://www.newdealinc.com) under the name New Deal Office.

Geoworks issues are discussed in the news:comp.os.geos.misc .

Regards.

Philippe.
