I've just uploaded a diablo binary to
http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/nokia770/mbarcode/diablo/

vCard importing is disabled for the time being (as I've not looked at
the syntax for Diablo), and although the code opens the browser, it just
seems to open the start page for me.

In fact for both platforms, I should place the URL/text in a text box so
that people can select and copy it. Note to self! :)

Curiously the Diablo code doesn't seem to suffer from the lock-up after
opening the dialog to ask if I want to open a URL. Your theories/patches
for the Fremantle code are welcome, as are enhancements for the Diablo
code items that aren't working currently (URL opening, vCard adding,
etc.) and for anything else you see.

Enjoy!

Cheers,


Simon
