Does anyone know of a Guru/ Apple Spec Database type application for the Palm OS. I would like to be able to refer to machine spec's in the field, but I have been unable to find any databases for the Palm.

Sounds like it's time we got together and made one, I know I'd find it handy and I think quite a few of us must have palms. Is there any palm development software for the mac though? I no a recent codewarrior palm app was canned but it might just have been to do with the latest palm OS.

Am I right in thinking there is a way to use FMPro databases on Palms?

Isn't there any program for converting FMPro databases to use with some palm program?

Well, it is possible to export the contents of the spec database as text, but the resulting file is a real mess, and even if someone went through and cleaned it up, scrolling through a 40 page text file on a palm would not exactly be efficent. Maybe it could be manually entered into some sort of spreadsheet application.

Could also be an option to convert the http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.legacy/index.html page to iSilo format using iSiloX?
Atleast it's something.
Gotta try that.

Untill i (or somebody else) gets the free time to something like that i think i'll use the converted page.
A lot of scrolling and it's 733kb big, but..
