Answer 1

In short, no. None of this can be done. A Palm .prc file is essentially the same as a Windows .exe file. It can only be run on compatible systems- trying to install an exe file on a Linux computer or a Macintosh will not work, just like how trying to install a .prc file will not work on anything else other than a Palm OS- compatible handheld. I do not know of any .prc to .uiq02 converters, and I doubt they exist because Palm OS is a proprietary format, and if Palm does not make a converter, then nobody is allowed to.

However, you can run the .prc files in a Windows-based palm emulator. Here is a link to one:

You may need to obtain a Palm ROM for the emulator to work.
