What is PalmABC ?

As I recently acquired a Palm Vx and increasingly use ABC for storing tunes it seemed a good idea to construct a simple ABC player/editor for the Palm device so I could carry around my tune database.

PalmABC provides the ability to both store, play and edit ABC tunes. These tunes can also be stored on a PC and transferred in either direction between the PC and the Palm device. You can also beam (infrared) single tunes to other Palm devices running the program.

A conduit is provided for Windows systems which will provide intelligent synchronization between the PC and the Palm device.
