Mishneh Torah for the Palm Pilot

This is our full Hebrew text of the RaMBaM's Mishneh Torah Code
according to the Yemenite manuscripts; and it is the most accurate
version for study of Mishneh Torah available anywhere, whether in
print or for computer.

NOTE:  These files require both Hebrew support and the iSilo Palm
Pilot reader; the TealDoc reader cannot read these files, but the
iSilo reader can read TealDoc files.

After releasing this version initially, we discovered that there are
two somewhat different systems of Hebrew support for the Palm Pilot
with slightly different handing of our texts; until a single standard
is adopted, we are providing files for each system separately.  You
should take care to get what is right for your Palm Pilot's Hebrew
support.  If you are not sure what to get, just try getting a small
file from either system and check how the square parentheses [x]
look:  if they look OK (not backwards like ]x[), you got the right
kind of file; if not, you got the wrong kind and need to download the
other kind of file.

Please note that we are quite serious about trying to cure problems
right away, so do let us know if you find any problems in this
version, so that we can fix them quickly.  By the way, the halakhah
numbers in [x] are the numbers in the standard Vilna edition, and
those at the start of the halakhot are the numbers according to the
majority of the Yemenite manuscripts; the adjustment in the borders
between halakhot often aids in understanding them, and at times even
radically changes the meaning of the text and changes the halakhah
lema`aseh according to the RaMBaM (see Laws of Forbidden Foods 9,3-4
for a classic example, which puzzled the commentators who just had
access to the usual printed versions).

The MTR for Palm Pilot in the first version was hand assembled in
hours of pains-taking work by a devoted Palm Pilot user from the MTR
for PC files in the version for Elul 5759; it resulted in reports that
a few chapters were accidentally left out, which is still good for a
hand-assembled job.  This version was automatically generated from the
??.htm files of our Web site (click on the Hebrew MT link at the top
and bottom of this page to see the originals) in about 10 minutes for
each Hebrew support system on an aging 486dx33, without human
intervention; we hope that this has resulted in a version without any
missing chapters and with the very latest corrections to the
constantly refined text.  Because it is now so easy to make an update,
we should be able to update the individual .PDB files every time we
update the main Web site files (which is sometimes several times a
week).

You now also have your choice of downloading either the whole
collection of files for the Palm Pilot in one 1.9MB zip file or in
individual files, according to your needs.  If you just want to see if
this version suits your needs, try downloading one file on a subject
that interests you and study it.

Unless you are downloading the zipped version, which includes an old
iSilo free reader, be sure not to forget to get the iSilo Palm Pilot
reader for browsing our files, before trying to use them.  You now
have two choices:  either download the latest version from the iSilo
site or the old iSilo free version from here.  The old free version
cannot do global searches and cannot use the extra memory on expansion
cards found on the newer machines.  The latest version, on the other
hand, can do these things and more, even if not paid for (for details
on additional features, see the iSilo.com site); but it is a "trial
version" ($20 shareware) that will automatically turn itself into a
freeware version after 30 days use, if no registration code is
entered.
