RE: [Phpgroupware-developers] Palm OS database manipulator

[Brian Johnson]

It sounds to me that this method would require two conduits

Does this talk to the Palm or just the pdb?

So you would need another program/conduit to sync the pdb to the Palm?

Why not just one conduit to do both (do the db-pdb sync and the pdb-pda
sync)

Can someone explain to me the value in this?
