I've finally figured out how to run Jeode under OpenZaurus. There's a utility that builds a package from Sharp's original installation. I didn't really want to re-flash with the original ROM, so I asked Carlos to do it for me. Thanks, Carlos. Since I am now able to run Java applets, I wrote a small package to access AOL's Quick Buddy. I called it zAIM. I also managed to use the applet's parameters to automatically adjust most of the frames to the Zaurus' screen size. I used the steps from Sun's tutorial to build the package. The source is on my CVS server if you want to look at it.
