Software and more for devices that are or may have been compatible with the OS for devices like those pictured above. (Actual device name and link to manufacturer removed by silly request of a company that may manufacture or have manufactured such devices). As recommended by Mark Willey, I use application/x-pilot as my mime type for prc files. If you have a better idea please tell me.
All of the software on this page is postcardware. It is free in both senses of the word, but if you use it and like it I would appreciate getting a postcard from you. My address is:

Co-authored with Mark Eichin and Robin Kirkman. A web server for your Pilot. Please send me your ideas and code contributions. The http implementation is very minimal but it works. It serves up your memos, address book, datebook, docs, and a list of databases. This is not the smallest web server I've ever written, that would be the Webcard.
httpd.prc, httpd.tar.gz (source code).
I am not actively developing this any more. You can find a newer version with some enhancements at the Sourceforge httpdPalm project.

This little program will extract photos from a WQVLink database via hotsync and store them on your computer as pgm files. For use with Casio WQV-1 and WQV-2 wrist cameras. Does not work with color cameras, but if you want to send me one, I'll fix it. Requires pilot-link.

The USENIX Program Schedule Loader reads events from a text file and loads them in to the datebook application.
If you use pilot-link and have trouble with the serial port not being closed properly, you might try this patch.
Martin von Weissenberg's Eringson is a small, free program for transferring ring melodies to and from an Ericsson mobile phone. This patch adds the ability to play back melodies on the Palm internal speaker.
