Common Questions
Will this program work on all palms?
Yes! (maybe) It was written to work on palms 2.0 and up. Handspring visors and Color IIIc should work fine although they will show up in monochrome. If you see any problems, please report them.
Why are you giving this program away for free?
I don't. It's postcardware.
Future Developments?
I may or may not continue developing FishinBUDDY. It was mainly a program I developed for my own use but decided to share openly. Future designs may include search options, color, {your idea here}, sorting, printing, etc.
About this Software
FishinBuddy is a simple user input database for tracking your fishing. Several fields are pre-labeled for your use. The "note" section can be used for any information you would like to record. The common use is to record the type of fish caught. The GPS is for all of you that have electronic "Global Positioning Satellite" receivers. Most of the buttons are self explanatory but here is a list (starting from left to right).

GARBAGE CAN - deletes current record

BLANK PAGE - Create a new record

LEFT ARROW - Goto previous record

RIGHT ARROW - Goto next record

I BUTTON - Information about FishinBUDDY

LINED PAPER - Table index of records

(Postcards with local motives from your place are perfectly ok.)

If you like this program so much that you think I should get some money for it, well, go ahead. But remember: you won't get any additional service.

If you are a shareware programmer...

... keep in mind that you got my software for free. :-)
