        I believe that's part of the install for Dirk's version, no?

        Volunteers anyone? I have a ton of urls which are already
palm-formatted in a local database here (which I will make public once I can
cobble together a front-end on it). Here's some working weather24 links for
you:

mysql> select url from pods where url like '%weather24%' limit 0,600;
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| url                                                              |

        Oops, forgot to reconnect that. I'll correct this weekend.

        IE5? Isn't that just a file manager that (poorly) tries to render
HTML? I'm not surprised it wraps. Let me see, what's the MS-HTML equivalent
of a <TD> tag... =)

        I'll make it a few pixels wider, but on IE on a test system, it
seems to work fine. Are you using non-standard fonts/sizes?

        Sure, this weekend, I'll add a bunch of new code to the site. I'm
pretty buried at the moment though. There's a large chunk of code I was
working on on a flight back from New York (6 hours of work) and when I
touched ground, I rsync'd the data to my backup server... THE WRONG WAY.. so
I lost it all. I'll try to recreate that this weekend.

        Oh suuuure, I get to be the target this time, eh? Keeps me on my
feet though. =)
