It is now called "pnmtopalm", and can do a lot more than the old
ppmtoTbmp.
Set the conversion method to "netpbm" (which knows about the different
flags pnmtopalm understand as opposed to ppmtoTbmp) and set the
ppmtoTbmp path to pnmtopalm. That did the trick for me.

I had no trouble making the jargon file into a plucker database, but
unfortunately it was far too large to fit into my 2MB visor. More
unfortunately even, I dropped my precious PDA to a concrete floor
today and smashed the display :(( It still works, so I can back up my
data, but it's obviously beyond repair. I think I'll get a Handspring
Visor Platinum now instead. Speed and 4 bitplanes :) A Prism or Edge
would be nice, but they are too expensive and the Prism has too short
a battery life (advertised as 6 hours).

iSilo does not do anything except display plain text in the no-cost
version. And it's not even "free" (as in GPL or BSD licence).
