Many people were wondering what the differences were between PiLoc, LionHeb and the Hebrew Support from Penticon. I put together this chart to illustrate the differences. If it is stil unclear, please E-mail me.
Please note the numbers throughout the chart, they go to the footnotes under the chart.

1. These are Palms running the PalmOS version 5. For example, the Tungsten, Zire 71/72, Treo 600, and some new Clies. To find out what version of the PalmOS your Palm has, see
this page.
2. To read DOC files, you must also install a DOC reader (such as TealDoc) on your Palm. You can find some good DOC readers in the
Viewers Section of the PilotYid Software Collection.
3. LionHeb comes with LionMemo which allows you to write Hebrew memos.
4. LionHeb comes with LionDoc which is a DOC reader that is also able to read Hebrew DOC files. You do not need to install another DOC reader.
