Well, I am not quite correct, because mapper was tested on OS2007 as well (manual installation). Someone changed the Application Catalog entry to reflect this fact. Well, the install file is still old, and does not have an entry which would allow the installation on N800. I need to fix it manually and it is not a big deal. The only problem comes next time, when a new release will be announced by John (author/maintainer of mapper). The install file will be regenerated and we are back at square 1. We are thinking about a solution that would automagically make OS 2006 and OS 2007 compatible installation files, if an application is known to work on both. > Thanks, > > Nick Shaw > Hth, ferenc
