Realbook/fakebook in chordpro format -- for Palm



Anyone taken the time to convert jazz standards into chordpro format? 
Chordpro is a format for describing progressions, usually used by
guitar players to put the chords on top of the lyrics.

There is a palm application, called songbook, for viewing chordpro
files.  I want to be able to have my fakebooks with me.

I have the realbook in Band In A Box format.  But that doesn't help me
when I'm away from my laptop.  So I'm either going to try to write a
conversion utility, or  I might just type in the progressions for my
favorites.

Two disclaimers:  1) yes I should memorize the standards instead, but,
unfortunately, I've been cursed with a bad memory.

2) No copyright violations if there's no melody or lyrics.
