I picked up some Geos file from Geoworks.

Timer/clock/alarm. Loudest sound my Z ever made-wont stop till you stop it. Will not wake the Z though. Shame. Must be a simple system patch.

Piano. Gives a fair size keyboard, cheesy sound, but hi-fi if you can cram a soundblaster card into the Z. Or a PCCMIASoundblaster Card?!

TextArc. Takes a text string and bends it in an arc. You have to set the largest point size & veiw at 200% and full justify, then wait for a long screen refresh, and lo and behold, fancy text. Similar to FontMagick, you cant do anything with what you create.

WAV.GEO. WAV library/player? Havent got it to work yet, though it does say its intended for Zoomer.I picked up some Geos file from Geoworks.

I also downloaded some fonts, but havent been able to access them. FontVeiwer doesnt see them in the fonts folder.

BTW, I put all this stuff in the desk accessories folder, that way you get some screen manipiulation. These apps are meant for big screens!
