I tried iSilo, and it doesn't properly convert html tables that are wider 
than the Palm screen . . . or at least I can't figure out how to make it 
do that.  Thus far, as I said before, the only solution I've hit upon is 
to convert the html screens to Excel screens and then use a Palm 
spreadsheet display program, but that's a realy pain.

Not all MUNI drivers are deranged these days.  Plenty of the passengers 
are, however.
