Isn't there a BBDB to > Palm synchronizer out there (somewhere...)? There is. In fact there are several. Unfortunately the only one I've found that is a true synchronization as opposed to a one way export from bbdb to pilot appears to be no longer active development. Nor for that matter, is the synchronization tool it's built on. These would be SyncBBDB and pilotmgr. They still work, but not nearly as well under PalmOS4 as they did under PalmOS3. I get various warnings that I suspect may become fatal errors in some future version of PalmOS, and had to tweak some (shudder) perl to get it to work for me. For a while I synchronized everything except the Datebook (we use a proprietary calendar system at work in spite of my best efforts) with pilotmgr and linux. Due to the problems I've had, now I have to sync everything but bbdb with the Palm desktop. Bleah. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
