About Kar Kare: -------------- Kar Kare was written primarily because I am the type who will take his car to the shop when metal parts start poking out of the hood! :) Since I've fallen in love with the PalmPilot, and carry it everywhere with me, I figured it would be the perfect tool to keep me on track with my car's scheduled maintenance. I had been using the excellent Trip software by Shannon Pekary (highly recommended!) to keep track of the number of miles between fill-ups, but I was still having trouble remembering when to take the car in for service. Enter Kar Kare -- Kar Kare was developed over several weeks in my "spare" time after work (so what if the grass is 3 feet tall, I'll become licensed as a nature preserve!). Kar Kare was written in C, using the GCC development tools for Microsoft Windows and Wes Cherry's gift to us all, PilRC. If you are new to Pilot development, and are looking for a great set of tools to get started with, check out GCC! My goals were to make Kar Kare easy to use, and something that would be useful for people on the go (sounds like the PalmPilot!) Enjoy the program... Lee Golden Olney, MD May 14, 1997
