I heard of someone that was able to place a reference type program I want to use on a pocket PC. This program was designed for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP or higher. It needs 24 MB of RAM and 500MB of disk space for full installation. It is mostly text driven, with things like imbedded links that refer to other parts/documents of the program and a few graphics. Would this be possible to convert and place on a Axim x50V with say a 1GB SD or CF card? Where would I get such a program to convert it?

If you have the source code, it's possible. The amount of effort required depends on the language used, the internal design of the app, etc.
Without the source code... depends on the language. If a p-code type language (.Net or Java) or an interpreted language: possible, but difficult. If a fully compiled language (C, C++) also possible, but
extremely difficult. Also likely illegal.
