Intro.
Welcome and thank you for using IE2PDB Explorer Bar! You can use the freeware version as long as you like. 

This software tool convert your selected text (within IE5) to DOC format PDB file.

If Palm Installer is detected, it will be lunched to install the PDB file.

All converted files are store in the PDB Install Path. You might want to clean things up once in a while.

I hope this software helps you.

Cheers!
