L.P.D.

["Andreas S. Oesterhelt" <oes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

..although not directly pilotmanager-related, I thought that you might be
interested to hear that Applix has released a GPLed tool for browsing and
searching your Palm data from Linux, called L.P.D.

At present, it is not possible to sync or write to the palm.

Download location is http://www.applixware.org/download/pilot.tar.gz
(400k), but for building you also need SHELF, an "Open Source Visual
Development Tool", which is a 6M Download:

Here are the first two paragraphs of Applix' press release on L.P.D.,
