I was aiming for a sort of HTML <form></form> to PalmOS Form resource
converter. The HTML file would be converted into a PalmOS Form via a desktop
app then inserted into a .prc file. Of course there would have to be some
kind of mapping info so the PalmOS app would know what kind of HTML form
elements they are and how they translate into records in a .pdb file. But
that kind of mapping would be simple compared to actually creating the form
resource from the HTML <form></form> code. I was curious to see if it could
actually be done of if someone had alternative ways to do it.
