I see that.


Keep in mind that only text and compressed or

uncompressed PalmDOC files (PalmDoc files have

type TEXt) will be effectively searched since this

program does not understand proprietary formats

such as HandStory. FindWiz is primarily used to

find text data which you as a user have entered in

your PDA. Your book viewer program will usually have it's own search facility.





Any plans to add this functionality?




Cheers,

Tom Bertin
