Hi, Jerry -
I believe the program will only work on the Palm OS-based PDAs, not those
based on Windows CE/Windows Mobile. .PRC files are definitely Palm based.

That said, I just read about a new application that supposedly allows most
Palm OS-based applications to run on a Pocket PC. The related website is
http://www.styletap.com/ . I haven't tried the software yet myself, and I'm
not sure how well it would run a timing-based application like a metronome
(adding an additional layer of interpretation between the application and
the hardware is sometimes a tricky piece of business!) However, it might be
worth a shot if you're interested in the metronome program.
