I've mentioned in the past I was working on an unzipper and download
systen.  I have an early beta release (Under GPL)

http://palmboxer.sourceforge.net

Basically it is a floppy disk replacement - instead of copying a .pdf
to a floppy, you can install and hotsync it to the palm, beam it to
other palms, and download it when you get to your other computer, and
there are the usual file management (info-rename / delete / copy).

But it can also download using the clipper into boxes (I have several
demo zips on the above page).

It also can unzip, untar, ungzip, and install palm databases from the
"boxes".  And it can install READMEs and other documents as DOC files,
so you can use your favorite DOC reader.  (And I do compress the doc
files heavily, but not optimally).

It's useful, but needs a little more work, and better docs.  Other
neat features are coming.

It is GPL so all the source is there, but you can't just lift it and
use it yourself.  The UnBox conduit was hacked from Palm example code,
so their license applies to it.
