They are in /channels/SOMECHANNEL/somechannel.pdb
Each .pdb has to have a unique name else they may overwrite each other when they go to 
the 
Palm/Install directory. The plucker.ini file requires sections to be unique, therefore 
the file 
name is the same as the section. I didn't have much interest in sending them to some 
ghetto 
directory--the exclusionlist.txt, home.html, the .pdb, and other future things like a 
cookie, 
etc, stay with the channel in one directory, so if you delete a folder everything 
goes, and 
when some future tool looks for any of the component files, they always know where to 
find it. 
You can read the plucker-dev from autumn 2001 for a full discussion of this.

The source is available. Feel free to implement it like this--you will need to reorder 
the code 
in the build_progress_dialog.cpp. You can read through the archives to see why it does 
not in 
CVS. Perhaps though instead of a code fork in the code, it might be configurable for 
all 
platforms, and the default for the key stays to transfer at the end, on platforms that 
use 
pilot-link.

Could well be. But this probably isn't something that is going to hold up a 1.2 
release. 
Perhaps later on.

Glad you enjoy it.
