[B-Greek] GRAMCORD software for Palm Pilot

I'd second Mr. Hinson's comments.

It's been about 4 years now since I started learning Greek. I've been
using GRAMCORD via Olive Tree for about 3 years. I've found it to be a
great rough-and-ready tool that works well with my Tungsten E and keeps
my Greek from slipping into dis-use. The delay in loading the program
can be a real annoyance, though.

FWIW (no, that's not a Greek transliteration), Olive Tree's Hebrew OT is
also quite legible and very useful.
