How Do I View The Rule FAQ In Palm DB Format?

[JohnTaber]

I have HanDBase and it does not show the rule FAQ when I upload it to my Prism. Do I need to use a different application? Is Tony M around?

Hi John,

Sorry I didn't see your note till today (and Ben forwarded me your email). The Palm FAQ is a Palm eBook. I'm not familar with HanDBase - what is it? I know that Palm has a free ebook reader somewhere on their web site - its also on the software CD. Well, on Palm's CD anyway - I've never had a Prism. I also know that a software package called HandStory reads it. They have a free reader on their web site (www.handstory.com). (For those with PocketPC's, they have a PocketPC version, but don't know if it reads ebooks.)

Let me know if one of those works, or need more help.

Hi Tony,

First off...thanks for the reply and sorry for buggin' ya.

HanDBase is a Palm db program. I thought the file was a db. I did not know if was an eBook.

I just downloaded a free version of HandStory. It seems to work fine! Thanks! I may register it...not sure. Are your files in "Standard eBook Format"? I'm looking at TealDoc instead. Do you know if TealDoc can view the FAQ?

No problem

The FAQ is a standard palm doc file, so any doc/ebook reader should work. If you get TealDoc and it works, let us know.

I wasn't aware the FAQ was in Palm format.

Personally, I use Wordsmith for my ebook needs, but that's because I also use it to sync Word documents. I'll have to try it out and check to see if it works with the FAQ.

FYI. TealDoc 5.51 works fine.

FYI #2. I'm going to purchase HandStory because it has an additional feature that is not on TealDoc which I desire.

Thanks again for the great help...
