Is there a way to convert .pub files into a format useable with iSilo?
I have a CD that is basically a library of several publications, and I want to be able to have this library on my Pocket PC. I know that its possible somehow because I've seen it used on a friends PPC. He downloaded it so that it was already ready for him to put onto his handheld. I want to figure out how to do it myself.
Normally, the CD library is made to run on a PC. When I look at the files that it contains, I see that they have .pub extensions.
If I'm being too vague, let me know. Sorry. And thanks for any help.

Do you know in what format the .pub files are? Perhaps you could post an example file.

Unless I misunderstand, the files are in the format of: .pub

For instance, one file is called:
T19_E.PUB

I've been told that they are Microsoft Publisher files.

@jonsushi: I'm having the same problem. I'd like to get my .PUB files converted, so I was wondering if you found a solution to that problem.

Thanks!

BTW, those .PUB files, while they have the same extension as MS Publisher, are not Publisher files. I'm not exactly what format they are (probably some proprietary or third-party database format), and it makes figuring out how to convert them tricky.
