The Doc on Demand engine has been painstakingly
assembled by our very own David Nelson. The purpose of this mysterious
device is the conversion of text files (be they pasted from your
clipboard or Stripped by this very engine from the URL you provide)
from their ASCII state into a .pdb file which can be read on
your palm-top computer (e.g. a Palm Pilot, Visor, one of those crazy PDA-cellphone thingies, a Psion, a Jornada, etc., etc., ad infinitum.) By the glory and miracle of
science, the letters of your text doc are whisked through the
motivator, into the grinder and then ejected from the vaporisor for your immediate download and use.
Insert your text, press the button,
and enjoy the fruit of our labor.

Note, it seems that 10 pages are
the maximum that can be pasted in the text field on Netscape(IE
does not appear to affected by this). However, documents can
be longer if they are stripped from a URL. If you are having
problems, post the DOC as an HTML page and strip directly from
that URL. Good Luck! Also, remember, you need a Doc Reader on
your palm pilot in order to read a Palm Doc (that goes without
saying, I suppose, but we shall say it anyway). Two of our favorite
readers are iSilo
and CSpotRun. Word on the street is that there are doc readers available for just about every flavor of the wee-computer (Memoware has a pretty extensive list of them.) We wouldn't know about that, as we're PalmOS people, through and through. But don't let that stop you.
Also, this engine was specifically
designed for the Project Gutenberg library of texts (which isn't to say that it can't convert stuff from just about anywhere, 'cause it can, baby!). If you haven't
heard of Project Gutenberg, or would like to go there now and
browse their library, click
here and a new browser window will spawn.
