Hi,
I've been using the reliable (but AGED) RichReader on my Palm to read
RTF files... but I would like to upgrade to a newer program. I know
Documents to Go & TealDOC can probably do that, but I want to keep the
file footprint as small as possible since I only have 16mb RAM. Also
desired is the ability to store & access the document files on the SD
card (RichReader cant do that). So, any suggestions?
Thx.

If it were me, I'd do:

..rtf --> export to .html --> plucker (w/zLib compression).

I probably sound like a broken record, but I've found plucker freeware
to be the answer to most of my Palm needs.

I use "Wordsmith". It's fairly cheap, and it doesn't take up but 1.5MB.
I also have 16MB of RAM so...
