Question PalmOS apps in Classic - Testing Request Thread

If any Classic users would be so kind as to test apps for those of us who do not have Classic (or Pres for that matter), that would be wonderful.

The apps that I would like to know if they work in Classic are:
ChessDlx
ClockDeluxe
Destaller
Hiarcs
Invisible
Jampaq Pro BlackJack 4.0
MiniBar
MovianVPN
MSDict
PalmRevolt
Real World Blackjack
Resco Explorer
Rotary
Quick Memos
Splash ID
TopSuDoKu
Tube
Tube2
VFSFTP+

you can see if the apps you are referring to are classic certified by searching here:

Can anyone test any of the above apps with Classic 2.0?

I am particularly interested to see if TCPMP or Quick Memos now works.

OK, I picked what I consider to be the most important piece of software from your list, and I'm happy to report that MiniBar 3.0 appears to work!

You're welcome!

Yeah, pretty much. Why would I want to watch a movie on a 320 x 320 screen when I'm holding onto a 320 x 480 device?

TCPMP totally rocked on the TX, though. You could throw just about any movie at it, and it would just play -- with some pretty decent controls, too. Not so with the Pre, or an iPod, or....to say nothing about storing and playing from an SD card. Oh, and it was free. <sigh>

Regards,
Tom

LOL.

Someone already reported in Classic Well about this one, but it is good to be reminded. Especially on Fridays

wow, this must have required some serious work/time. Thanks!

Did you report about your results in Classic Well for other people (that might not be coming to the forums) about these? If you did not/do not have the time to do it, let us know, we'll report based on your results.

Thanks again!

Correction: for VFSFTP+, I should have said that it runs but I did not *try* connecting to an FTP site.

What is the Classic Well?
