This is the final release of software from me for the foreseeable future, guys. Apologies but I am having personal problems and will be unable to continue the software.

This final Birds program is courtesy of Amedeo and Marco who changed the bird menu categories to scientific grouping. I added the Habitats menu as a button operated, graphic menu so as to avoid losing the 'find bird by Habitat feature'.

If anyone feels able to continue the program development using Basic4PPC language (like Visual Basic) contact me and I will try to get back to you.

My best wishes to everyone

Excellent program for all bird lovers and nature. I hope that you will solve all problems and continue to work on this and similar programs.,
The only thing I do not like the program is that there is no option on / off when switched on bird songs.
This option existed in earlier versions ...
Can this be solved in a simple way?

Well, I could put a simple on-off option in the menu settings. I would need to know which CAB you use (VGA/QVGA and if HTC device or not).

I use QVGA, a cell phone is the Samsung Omnia i900.,
If this is not much of a problem to do that I'd be grateful.,

Hello
I'm having problems running the Pocket Bird software on my Samsung C6625.
I copied Pocket_Birds_450_QVGA.ARM.CAB to my C6625 and clicked it to install the program. So far so good
I copied the PBEdata folder to the root of the storage cord (I changed the name to "Storage Card" in SDCARD.txt and changed the 0 to 1 in Manual_Card.txt)

When I try to run te apllication I get this message:
Unexpected error in PBirds qvga.exe (translated from Dutch)

Can anyone help me to get this application running?

Have you got .NetCF 2.0 or newer installed? That is a requirement.

Thanks Bobbic

I am probably going to make a Marine Animals program (sea fish and creatures). I have never come across a book about freshwater fish but there must be one out there, given the popularity of angling!

I am currently working on Pocket Sky (clouds, etc) as that is an interest of mine, but I am trying to use my own photograph selections.

Meanwhile I installed .NETCF 3.5, but still can't run Pocket Birds (same error message). This is what appears in the detail section of the error message:
PBirds qvga.exe
NotSupportedException

at
Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
at
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.InputPanel..ctor()
at
Dbasic.b4p.ctor()

I can only suggest that your device is somehow non-standard in some odd way. It seems that the program is trying to do something that your device doesn't support or like. Sorry I cannot help more.
