Re: Transfer of DateBk 6 to Pimlical - inner workings of CalendarDB PDat?

Hello, Jochen,

i have had not experience w/ Centro

i'm not sure what you're trying to do?

your goal is from Centrio --> T3 then Pimlical Android? eventually yes?

do you have no Palm Desktop installed? sounds like no?
if so, can your T3 synch with Palm Desktop at all?

maybe you can just use the built-in Palm datebook?

(i also bought P/D & P/A but took me > 2 years to migrate from Palm Tx 
--> N5 to support CESD
so i understand what you mean)

regards,

pam
