GEOS is basically a DOS application, so you don't need to partition your
harddrive to run it. It even runs within a Window in MS Windows. NewDeal
Inc. sells a desktop version of GEOS called NewDOS (or NewDeal Office).
You can download the latest beta from there website at www.Newdealinc.com.
You will then be able to run IZL on your desktop. Alternatively, you could
buy the OmniGo SDK which includes a desktop emulator for the OmniGo.

I don't imagine Jogn Feras would give out the source code to IZL, but
then you could always ask - you could always go to the IZL homepage at
http://www.netaxs.com/~jferas/izl.htm
>3. When I'm at B:\geoworks on my Omnigo, How can I get to my flashcard?
Obtain and Install Omniswp - It rearranges the keyboard in DOS so that
all the standard omnigo keys work.
>The shift : doesn't work. Do I have to make directories on my flashcard.

If you makes the same directory structure on your FlashCard as on the B:
drive, Geos will mirror those directories. That is, anything on your
E:\GEOSWORKS\DOCUMENT directory will appear as though they are in the
B:\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT directory. If you move files from your B: drive to
your flash card in the same directory, GEOS will load it off the card
instead of from RAM.
