Re: SyncMemo question

[David Weatherford <David.Weatherford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

SyncMemo uses "generic" names to avoid duplicates.  Since PalmOS has no
problem with duplicate names, but UNIX does, this is the best it can do.
Check whether there is another memo which has the same 16 chars at the
beginning of the first line as the generically-named one.
