Reviews:
Very good
well illustrated reference guide!
A reviewer from SC, 2006-02-20
"The software installed without a glitch on my iPAQ 2795 running Windows
Mobile 5.0. The installer created a shortcut in the Programs Folder. The
guide opens inside Internet Explorer. This makes browsing very easy. Top
level links on the start page describe the topics covered in the guide.
After I click on the topic the page with illustrations loads up. The illustrations
are clear even on the small screen of the Pocket PC."
