I took a stab at it, but I wasn't able to get it to link cleanly. I figure that the various hacks I had to do to get it that far finally sabotaged me, so now I will have to defer to those more experienced in these things. Part of the README file is reproduced below, to satisfy the curious and to (hopefully) entice someone with more clues than I (most anyone) to do the hard work :) ****** KPilot is software for syncing the 3Com Palm Pilot and IBM Workpad (UNTESTED!) with a machine running some flavor of unix. The actual PC->PP communcations was originally based on pilot-link.0.8.7. By default it attempts to connnect using /dev/pilot which should be a link to the actual serial port, however this is configurable in the settings dialog. This is the second release of KPilot, The have been a few bug fixes (most notably the compile problem a lot of people were experiencing), some cosmetic changes, and signifcant rewrite and expanding of the syncing capabilities. Current features include: o Full Backup/Restore capabilities of Palm Pilot o File (prc,pdb) installation o Email syncing capabilities (via POP3 & sendmail) * o SmartSync backing up modified data even for databases KPilot doesn't recognize * o Import/Export to/from virtually any text format for Addresses. * o Import/Export to/from text files for memos * o Simple to use API to allow developers to add custom widgets to KPilot's display. * o Docs. :) (* = new in v1.1) ****** Thank you for your attention, -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis bhlewis@gte.net -or- bhlewis@purdue.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe current" in the body of the message
