Current versions of PalmOS through 5.x (also known as Garnet) are very difficult to port a program as large as OOo to, because of certain design compromises made back in the days of PalmOS 1.0. Cobalt (also known as PalmOS 6.x) is more promising, but there are no machines yet that actually run Cobalt. Still more promising is the Cobalt-on-Linux version that PalmSource is said to be developing. At present, the best thing to do is to use the Documents to Go package and save your OOo files in Microsoft Word or Excel format. -- John W.

Hi, comments in line... -Original Message- From: Saalo Sparkes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: May 31, 2005 8:01 AM To: discuss@openoffice.org Subject: [discuss] Palm I have recently bought a Palm PDA, which has limited functions for writing documents. As I was creating some documents, I thought it would be nice to be able to create these using OpenOffice.org on the PDA. Are there any plans to port OOo to Palm? reply: no, unfortunately. Your best bet is to get Textmaker, which unfortunately is proprietary, but at least runs natively on Linux. You do have to pay for it, but they are pretty good about letting you copy it to a couple of your other computers. See their licenses for further details. I also know the CEO of the company, and he is a great guy, very nice, and he swears that he will eventually create OpenOffice.org filters for his products. I believe him, although it has been a little bit slow in coming. The great thing about Softmaker's products is that they are teeny tiny small. His word processor actually loads faster than AbiWord, which says a lot, because AbiWord is teeny tiny and loads exceedingly fast.

Probably not. There has been much talk about making a program called OOo light, because OOo is a rather large program, although much smaller than Microsoft Office. Your best solution is probably to consider buying Softmaker Office, and installing it on your desktop and your palmtop. You can then cut and paste from OOo to Softmaker, and then transfer your files from your desktop or notebook to your palmtop. Softmaker is remarkably lightweight and yet robust. It really is a minor miracle in engineering. Unfortunately, for right now, it is also proprietary. However, among proprietary programs, it is one of the few to challenge Microsoft Office and survive, which in itself is another minor miracle. You can find it here. I do not work for Softmaker, nor do I have any financial interest in them. http://www.softmaker.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [discuss] Palm OS
Hi John Luis! OOo on PalmOS (maybe even pocketPC? :-D) would really be *neat*. Maybe you should sugest it to the OOo Community Council. SC On 4/24/05, John W.

Thank you and continue with the good work, I can´t wait to download the 2.0 version. At present, the best option is to hold your nose, use the file formats of Microsoft Office, and then use Documents To Go. If you wish only to read the document on the PDA, then, under OOo 2.0, you should be able to use save the file as a PDF and then read it with Adobe Reader for PalmOS. Under OOo 1.x.x, there are severe problems with this strategy. OOo can also write a read-only file to the AportisDoc format for PalmOS. But the AportisDoc software and the company that wrote it are dead, and the OOo AportisDoc feature has some bugs. Certain design characteristics of PalmOS (which are there for very good reasons) make it extremely difficult -- a practical impossibility -- to port a program as large as OOo to PalmOS Garnet or any older version of PalmOS. PalmOS Cobalt (formerly known as PalmOS 6) may improve that, and PalmSource has also announced their intent to do a yet more sophisticated operating system, which will be PalmOS on the outside and Linux on the inside. So there should be a long-term solution. -- John W.
