-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The Windows Palm stuff requires .prc or .pdb. That is a Palm limitation, you _can not_ install anything on the Palm unless it has an extension of .prc, .pdb, or .pqa, currently, unless you copy it to the external expansion card using

Interesting review of another competitor on Infosync, iSilo 3.1. The three things I notice are: CSS support, real tables, and support for reading DOC pdbs and .txt files on a memory card. iSilo has a totally different userbase and needs. For us, I think the top things we need to
