First a word of caution: This initial public release 0.91 of MoStacks is still a little rough and may crash now and then because of bugs. If you decide to take the plunge and really use the program, please be careful, learn about the backup files mechanism of the MoStacks Symbian program, and also backup the stacks yourself often.
MoStacks for Windows and Symbian/UIQ2 is freeware. Both programs are closed-source however, i.e. the source code is not available.
Compatibility: The MoStacks Windows program for developing stacks should run on any Windows version starting with Windows 98. Really tested so far are Windows XP and Windows 98. The MoStacks Symbian/UIQ program for viewing stacks and data entry should run on any UIQ 2.0 and UIQ 2.1 phone. Really tested so far are SonyEricsson P800, P900, and P910i.
Requirements: The Windows program is very modest and should run on pretty much any Windows PC out there.
The Windows and the Symbian program can communicate with each other for transferring stacks, and they currently use TCP/IP port 7777 for doing so. (See also chapter Transferring stacks.)
Depending on your firewall configuration a warning will pop up at program start that MoStacks.exe tries to access the Internet through that port or act as a server on the port. This does not mean that MoStacks is a trojan horse or "phones home" to me, but is legitimate. As this feature is not essential, feel free to block port 7777 or block MoStacks as a program and move your stacks yourself "by hand" between PC and phone if you worry about this.

(A short programmer's comment about the Symbian program: The installer really is only 130 KB. MoStacks really does not need anything else to run than the standard Symbian OS present on the supported phones. This comes naturally so if one bites into the sour apple and programs native Symbian programs in C++.)
The Windows program comes together with the 4 demo stacks mentioned on the home page, and the SIS for the phone installs the Countries demo stack on the phone as well. If you just want to have a look at MoStacks on your phone and bypass the Windows program for developing stacks for the moment, you can download the 3 other demo stacks separately and transfer them to your phone manually:
