The Palm handheld computing platform, driven by the Palm operating system PalmOS, seems to be fading, but we often catch on to things a bit late in their life-cycle. We've been Palm users for about two years now, and have spent some time learning about these devices and putting together information and utilities, including some of our own.

This page is intended to present this information; it will develop as time permits.

For the moment, we have but a single offering. It's a Perl script, run on the desktop side, which does compaction of the Palm memopad database (MemoDB.pdb). We only recently discovered just how much wasted space can be found in this database, and our initial attempt reduced our own memopad from over 2.2 megabytes to just over 500 kilobytes, an unexpectedly enormous amount.
