Matt Fletcher, has updated this excellent program & promises a Fracture Classification program soon. I have seen an early version of it & it looks great.

MyDoktor
MyDoktor promises to be the new Medical Pocket Bible, with a Medical Reference Database & Drugs Formulary. The author promises frequent updates etc. Unfortunately I cannot get the software to download adequately. Please note that it is not compatible with WinZip & can only decompress with RMRZip on your EPOC device. It is still early days & the product is not complete - So watch this space!

EBook
Do you wish you'd bought a PalmPilot because of all the excellent reference files for it. Well worry no more.
EBook is an electronic book (etext) viewer. It supports Aportis (sometimes simply called DOCs) formatted documents as used on the PalmPilot and flat text documents.
The Aportis documents can be compressed or uncompressed and also contain bookmarks, although these are not read into the viewer as they are not portable between platforms.
Although designed as a book reader, EBook can also be used to view normal flat text documents such as ".txt" and ".html" files.

New Websites:
Check out the following Websites:
- Go32 - Everything EPOC & more.
- Handheldmed.com - Predominantly a Medical PalmPilot site, but loads of links to files for use with EBook.

MaxSACs

MaxSACs is a superb new Logbook for MAxillo-facial surgeons, mainly trainees/ residents. It does have sufficient flexibility to adapt it to other Surgical Specialities. I have done this for Orthopaedics & it works. It is still in Beta development, but certainly functional & Wayne Gillingham's talents will ensure an excellent final product.

Click Here for a guide to adapting MaxSACs to other Surgical Specialitities.
