AFAIU Coldsync conduits are just regular programs that read/write .pdb files. First a program is run to copy the relevant data from wherever it keeps it into the PDB, then Coldsync performs the synchronisation with Palm according to dirty bits set in the PDB records, and then another program is run to extract data from PDB and store it where needed. There's more to it (you can write a conduit that talks directly to the Palm, you can implement all that in a single program, etc.), check out http://www.ooblick.com/software/coldsync/doc/conduits_toc.html Marius Gedminas -- If the ancients were right and to think is to exist, does Microsoft exist? _______________________________________________ Pilot-unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu/mailman/listinfo/pilot-unix
