Give SyncBBDB a try: http://syncbbdb2.sourceforge.net/ . It does bidirectional syncing, and can be used as a conduit in the PilotManager framework http://pilotmanager.sourceforge.net/ or as a stand-alone script. (The stand-alone functionality is not well documented; look at the script called "bootstrap".) Like most *nix Palm syncing applications, SyncBBDB depends on the pilot-link library. Some recent linux distributions, including Fedora Core 4, are shipping broken pre-release versions of pilot-link, with which SyncBBDB will not work. In most cases, the best thing to do is to remove any 0.12.x version of pilot-link from your system, and install version 0.11.8 of pilot-link, which is a couple of years old but still the current stable release. If you need some newer functionality that 0.11.8 is missing, e.g. if you need Solaris USB support, I can provide details on how to patch together a working 0.12 version. If you have any problems with it, please let me know about them. -Aaron ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
