Topic: Is anyone using Cad on a handheld??

[PDJ]

I have a Jornada 548 that I've had for a few years now and I've always been looking for a decent cad program to run on it.. Not for full blown cad work in the field or anything like that, just to check a drawing or make a redline.  Something along those lines.  

I've been looking at PocketDGN and just haven't put down the $49.00 for it yet.  I have a freeware cad program that's still in development stages and I don't know if the author is ever going to complete it...

Is anyone here using anything?? Spill the beans guys and dolls, tell me whacha got??

I have POCKETCAD on an older Compaq pocket PC.  My boss got it in order to have a copy of his plot plans available in the field while staking out the houses.  The interface was a bit difficult and many of his favorite commands were unavailable, but overall it was able to give him information in the field rather than call the office and have some poor chump (me) figure out what he needed.  One drawback - this version would read but not write dwg files, so changes made in the field had to be via dxf format.
