Yes, I know I'm going to need some GUI components. What I'm thinking
of writing is (yet another) "CD database" type program, but custom
to my needs. A portable version of the type of thing I have at
http://sweh.spuddy.org/cds.cgi

So there would be a parse to read in the source data file (ASCII file,
which I would like to be the same on the web server and the PPC), then
display data in a tabular form, allow selection of an item and display
the details.

I don't need (at this point) update/save/add type facilities; just
a "display" option.

And then similar for my book and DVD collections.

It took me under a day to write that web interface (oh so many
years ago, before DHTML... my stuff is HTML2.0 aged!). I expect it
to take a lot longer to do the same for the phone.
