Re: SyncAB and sdtname

[Eric Sharakan - Sun High Performance Computing <Eric.Sharakan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trevor, I'm perfectly willing to tackle the SyncAB side, but it seems to me that 
a good portion of this might be sdtname's fault.  Why should it always complain 
about unsaved changes, when there aren't any, and even after I re-saved the card 
in a format supposedly amenable to sdtname?

Anyway, in trying to figure out what changes to make to the vCard file to make 
sdtname happy, it hung my window manager once, and went into a loop constantly 
asking for more memory another time.  I think I'll try EditAB now.  :-)
