Another thought would be to read/write the Netscape address book format, and a
sync tool for that combination.
In spite of this comment, if you wrote one like you're describing, I'd probably
use it. You'd still need some sync logic though, as you need to resolve
conflicting changes, etc. PRC "file" format isn't as useful or interesting as
Pilot PDA "record" format is. You probably need auxiliary information to make
syncing work anyway.
