Minibridge is an implementation of the card game "Bridge" for the PalmPilot, written in conjunction with David Park.
It is compatible with some older versions of PalmOS. Bridge is a fairly well-known, though complex, card game. The game itself will not be described here. However, if you've ever played Spades, it is similar (bidding and scoring are more complex, and there are standard conventions that people follow when playing).
Our implementation currently allows for one human player to play Bridge against 3 computer players. The computer player is nothing to write home about, but should provide an enjoyable game for the Bridge novice. The computer bidder is virtually non-existent and definitely needs work. Currently, it can make a very poor opening bid and that's it.
For more details about minibridge, see the readme file. We hope you enjoy the game.
What's New in This Release:
· Fixed bug on clearing score.

Alarm Repeater Hack Alarm Repeater Hack is a HackMaster hack for PalmOS version 1.0 and version 2.0 that lets you repeat your alarm sound a given number of times.
This is useful because the PalmPilot speaker tends to be on the quiet side. If you keep your device in your pocket, you may not even hear the alarm. By making the alarm repeat longer, there's a better chance that you'll hear it
RsrcEdit Plug RsrcEdit Plug is a Launch 'EM plugin that allows you to drag-and-drop a file from Launch 'EM and have it opened with Individeo's RsrcEdit.
It's only useful if you're a frequent user of both of these programs (as I am). Otherwise, it's totally useless.
Note that there is no readme or other documentation for this product

There is some slowdown, but it is usable.
Released under GPL.
Source code is available from my web site.
Hoshi Takanori has released a DA to activate FlipHack from any application (using a DA launcher). It's called FlipDA
Clie ScreenLock Fix Clie ScreenLock Fix is a patch that makes WinScreenLock() work on certain very old Sony Clies by fixing one of Sony's bugs.
This fix allows FlipHack to work properly on those devices. Note that if you bought anything other than the earliest Clies, this probably won't help you. For more details, see the README.
Clie ScreenLockFix is released under the GPL
