Browse the Web right from your PalmPilot!

Congratulations and thank you for trying HandWeb. This is a demo version,
intended to show you how convenient it can be to be able to browse
the Web from your PalmPilot organizer.

Excuse us for the inconvenience, but this version is limited in the following 
ways: the URLs you can visit are hard-coded into HandWeb. There is no limit to 
the number of links you can follow, but you may not enter your own locations.

===============================================================================
HANDWEB OVERVIEW
===============================================================================

HandWeb is an amazingly powerful Web browser that lets you use your PalmPilot 
Professional organizer or IBM WorkPad to search and surf the Internet just as 
you would from a full-sized desktop computer. Youll be able to keep up with 
news services, the stock market, weather reports, or even connect to your own 
company's Intranet easily wherever you go. 

HandWeb displays the text contents of World Wide Web pages regardless of their 
graphical appearance. Just point and click your way to new sites, add 
bookmarks of your favorite pages, and even save entire Web pages for off-line
browsing or as Memo Pad documents.
HandWeb features:

* For PalmPilot Professional connected organizers, IBM WorkPad PC Companions 
  and compatibles
* Connects right to the Web through your regular Internet Service Provider
* Supports search engines, pages with fill-in forms, and more
* Lets you organize bookmarks in customizable folders
* Stores Web pages for off-line browsing or as Memo Pad documents
* Offers complete navigation buttons
* Includes Cache and History features for fast access to recent pages
* May also be used through firewalls or proxy servers (not required)
* Downloads new applications, documents, and databases directly into your 
  PalmPilot or WorkPad

Note: We apologize, but at this time HandWeb still does not support frames.
