Kind of off topic, but if you like to try something less bloated than 
AvantGo (240K) you could try Plucker (9K). It's still going through 
some heavy development and I'm not sure what Unix platforms the desktop
tools (a bunch of awk scripts + a conduit written in both C and Perl)
would work on at the moment (it works on Linux and apparently also to
a certain extent on OS/2!).

We are about to release a 0.03 version and there is also work going 
on in porting all the desktop tools to Perl (also adding a web based 
server application like AvantGo.com). Plucker is released under GPL.

The release at our web site http://www.rubberchicken.org/products/plucker
is a developer's release and if you like to try Plucker, I would recommend
you to wait until we put up the 0.03 version. Or if you don't like to 
wait, you could contact me, the package I can send you (80K) is only
missing some of the OS/2 specific files.

Best regards,
