 Hello, I like the software. But can you make it browse 
through files in the storage section? It's difficult to type a name. 

---------
 Answer
---------
 
 Siemens J2ME API does not provide means to get list of files. 
This API appeared on S55, but I want to keep midlet universal for
all phone models.
 Midlet keeps names of all recently opened files inside "filelist.dat".
This ia simple text file with a fiename in each line.
 You can add new filenames to file "filelist.dat" manually, when you
upload new files on the phone from PC.

 ReadManiac is a great midlet! But: How can I edit the original .fnt 
fonts from the .jar-file? I want to modify it, because i want to read 
german text files on ReadManiac, but some characters are incorrect and 
i dont want to create new fonts.

---------
 Answer
---------

 You can not replace fonts inside JAR archive because their sizes are
hard-coded into midlet. 
 Version 1.2 of midlet includes 6.4 font with a Western-Europe charset.

 Question
---------

 Program works on M50. There are two problems: 1) Text browsing is very 
slow, which makes midlet unusable for normal reading. 2) Splash screen 
looks awful, because it is resized. M50 screen is 101x64.

 These problems are solved in version 1.2
