I've written a utility class in C++ to get/set all the values that the HotSync Manager uses. It should support any OS platform from 3.0 to 5.0 (ARM), inclusive. I'm attaching its interface to the end of this message.

This class also provides a good example of how to read/write a structure that is both 68k-aligned, and ARM-aligned, depending on the CPU.

I wanted to make this open source and post the URL to these groups so that others can reuse my (considerable) efforts for free, but I realized that such a class might be put to malicious use to thwart certain royalty acquisition schemes that rely on the HS UserName. This has happened in the past, though at the binary level, and not the source code level.

I was considering making the header file and example available as open-source, but only surrendering the .cpp implementation to developers who answered a small questionnaire, to help weed out the malicious script kiddies from the legitimate developers. But I really don't want to have to babysit my source code.

It would be a shame for this utility class to remain private because of a few bad apples. I would appreciate your input on this issue!

Thanks very much,
-Jeff Ishaq
