For BE-300 user. (PocketPC2002 is Here!)
Developed by BE-500 SDK (Japanese version CASSIOPEIA) for BE-300(MIPS).
Manual is here! (Under construction)
The Constellation chart board for BE-300.
This program is used as help to see the star in the night sky. Instead of the constellation chart board.
This program was converted from Japanese version.
I did not test this program by BE-300. (I've tested by the emulator which is for PocketPC 2002 Japanese version)
