Hello Carbar,

Thanks for a few great applications! I've installed them on a Nokia 6230 and at first glance they seem to work fine. A few items though:

- It might be worthwile to provide a link to the .JAR file also as having both files available will enable installation without access to the internet through your phone/PDA, but via cable/IR/Bluetooth connection from a PC.
- I had a quick look at some of the conversions in AvCalc, and at one point managed to crash the application by trying to insert a decimal point into a numbers only field, I'd have to try this again to find the exact field if you're interested. Perhaps it might be possible to disable entering disallowed characters in such fields.
- On this type of Nokia (perhaps on others too) selecting an option in one of the menus is done with the green connect button, instead of via the more usual center navigation button. This is not a major problem but it might be worth considering switching this if it doesn't clash with the functionality on other types for the sake of commonality with other applications on Nokia phones.

PM if you want more info, I'll surely be using this more often!
