I searched for PInstall as mentioned below in jakewalk.de and could not find
it. There is a search control on the site, but searching in English did not
work. I did select the english version of the site. I'd like to try it out, as
Plucker is my most-used Palm app besides the standard pim.
thanks
This link brings one to the site, but not to the converter.
