Möötjelitt - Palm Converter

Möötjelitt Palm Converter (MPC) is an application that can read some of the files that are created on a Palm and transferred to your desktop when you HotSync your Palm. MPC is designed to be extensible, meaning that as time passes we will try to add more formats to MPC.

When you run MPC for the first time, you should openMPC's preferences and tell MPC where it can find your palm's "Backup Folder".

The "Backup Folder" is the folder that the Palm HotSync application uses to keep backup files of the content on your Palm. In O X this folder resides in: "/Users/(your Mac user name)/Documents/Palm/Users/(your HotSync name)/Backups".
In OS9 it is in the "Palm/Users/Username" folder.
When you have completed this, MPC is ready to use.

Usage

Using MPC is pretty simple: launch the program and MPC will then open a window that looks similar to this:

MPC will list the files it recognizes in this window. Double-click an item to open it. Exactly what happens depends of what kind of database it is, see below. You can also start the conversion process by dropping files on the MPC icon or choosing "Open..." from the file menu.

Note that you can change some parts of MPCs behavior by changing different preferences.

Available formats

Currently available formats are: Memos, pedit "memos", Hours, Expense, Treo/VisorPhone Call Tracking databases, DOC files, QuickWord documents, Beers, BloodPressMgr, Timesheet, TimeCatch, JFile, FrogWatch, Handstory, Arrange, List, Pilot-DB, funSMS and Mobile-DB. Detailed information.

Cost

MPC is free but we would appreciate an email if you use it (it's more fun to develop something if we know that people use it )

Some people have asked how they can "financially reward us for making MPC available", despite the fact that MPC is FREE. Well, if you want to give us money for MPC despite that it's a free program, we will not make things difficult for you ... we are not that crazy . The easiest way would be to use this webstore or send money using PayPal.

It doesn't unlock any secret features in MPC but we promise to bow in the general direction of your country and say "thank you".
