Can anyone upload or direct me to the files of this program? The author's website has been gone since 2004, and archive.org apparently never saved the .zip file (probably because of a robots.txt file excluding it...).

I had this program on an old Palm & am looking to get it for my new palm. I think its a great program but I cant find it anywhere. If anyone can send me a link to this program please e-mail me at sinned1971@ msn.com. Just close the space of course. I have even tried to e-mail the maker of Banner but have been unable to reach him. Any help would be great. Thanks

this is an amazing program. I use it all the time to advise people on what to say in meetings from the back of the room and nobody sees. Great!

This is an excellent prog for Palm OS. It worked great on my m515 untill it broke and Palm wouldn't replace it. For X-Mas I got a Tungsten C w/ Palm OS 5.2.1($250 @ compuplus.com brand new after rebate) and when I put banner on it all seemed fine untill I had to hard reset my palm to exit the program because the hardware buttons didn't stop the infinite loop. Upon reset I was greeted with nasty error message that would not go away untill I held the power button down while resetting to erase all data on my palm. Once I restored all the programs on my palm (except banner) my Palm wouldn't get the error message after a hard reset. This prog does work with other Palm OS 5.0 devices such as the Tungsten T and all Sony CLie's running Palm OS 5. I can't wait till a new version comes out that works on my Palm.

This is an excellent little prog, perfect, but pressing the app. Buttons while the text is scrooling can screw things up a bit. Hopefully the next versions will show more features...

Nice little app which is simple and useful. I use it all the time to communicate share prices to traders on the floor.
