Ok, don't laugh, but I am going to Texas tomorrow and am bringing my GameBoy on the plane. However, I'd like to bring the FAQ/Walkthrough of the game as well. Can I put it on my Palm Zire? Does it have to be in a special format? It's in a .txt file now. Is there an app I need to d/l to put on my Zire to read it?
Thank you!!

You have lots of options. First, you need a document reader for your Zire (like iSilo, TealDoc, PalmReader, CSpotRun, or others). Then, you need to convert the .txt file to a portable format (like the Palm .pdb or one of the proprietary formats). I know iSilo does that, but there's also a program called PorDiBle that you can use.
