I was looking for BGlightCE (BG-programm for Pocket PC that is based on GNU). But I was only able to find broken links and a deserted homepage.
Has someone an idea where to get it?
Thx for help!

retains both source (although I've yet to unzip it correctly, 7Zip seems to have problems, going to try winzip) and the executable (My HTC TyTN II wouldn't allow me to install it cos it wasn't digitally signed (was fine on an earlier pda however), but if you run the exe on your pc, then look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\BGLightCE (I'm using w2k) the files are there, you can open and extract the files from the cab using 7Zip, rename the files to the correct names (below) (you can kindof guess which garbled filename goes with which proper filename by looking at the first part of it, also some have 0's prefixing them in the cab for some reason), and manually copy to your PDA using activesync or something, from whence you can run them just fine).
You might need to give archive.org a couple of tries, I got a 404 error the first time around but went back in again and it worked just fine!
It's a shame this project seems to have died, it's much simpler and hence nicer UI-wise than any of the pay-for games I've tried. I was really after a 2-player PDA gammon for when I'm travelling with my wife, but this doesn't seem to do it; If I ever can be bothered I might resurrect it: If so, I'll post the new version here.
Filenames inside the CAB (the txt and .000 files are not needed on your PDA):
BGLightCE.exe
BGLIGH~1.000

CoolBoard.bmp
FlatRed.bmp
