I’m looking for some relatively painless way to create a self-viewing\* document for Palm OS. I’d like this to have html functionality (that is, hyperlinking, text formatting, graphics display) but within a single file. Sort of like Hypercard for the MacOS, actually.

Does anybody know of any windows compatible program that can do this? I’d be extraordinarily grateful.

- Ideally self-viewing. That is, it should be viewable on a normal Palm Pilot without any additional installation of software.
