I've used sitescooper or the plucker desktop to crawl various websites
and pick up the information, then Plucker (www.plkr.org) to view it on
my Palm. Plucker is a PalmOS viewer, so you may not be able to use that
directly, but you can get a PocketPC app to read plucker document format
from http://vade-mecum.sourceforge.net/, and I think there's been an
attempt to port Plucker so if you run Opie on your iPaq you may be able
to run it.

HTH,

Mike.
