has anyone heard of an applications that lets you view or edit visio drawings on PALM OS?

I'd love something full blown like Natara did with MS Project, but even a viewer would be cool, as long as I don't have to manually convert the images (automated transposing is fine)

I load Visio files into my Palm.
First I save the file as a JPG

I then move it into my image directory along with my other Acid image files. I named a direcrory Visio for storing the files.
The first file, a complex engineering drawing, I loaded, ended up at 300k in size. Acid Image loaded it after announcing it would load a smaller size. I probably could have reduced the file size before loading.

The file is easily magnified and read.

I use the same approach with Powerpoint presentations, save into a directory as JPG's which gives you all the slides as slide 1, slide 2, etc. I then just move that directory into images and have the presentation available.

You could combine these approches by pasting the visio file into powerpoint.

Like I said I want a conduit and not manual file conversion. Also, JPG doesn't allow you to view individual layers.

No I'm looking for a standalone application.
