Summary: SyncTime error with Palm OS v3.3

[Stacey Marshall - Sun ETZN Networking Product Support <stacey.marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg and all,


The problem is documented on the palm web site:

	http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/survey.cgi#time

	TimePALm 1.0  <-- Some PC app I assume!

	This version is incompatible with this upgrade. Users may see
	a fatal error 'NotifyMgr.c,Line:846,error writing task'
	message on their handheld after performing a HotSync
	operation. Removing the TimePALm conduit on your desktop will
	eliminate this error. Please contact the vendor for an updated
	version.

I will ask 3com what the solution to the vendor is?  One assumes they
(3com|palm) have changed somthing in the protocol as documented by
Alan Harder:

	Here's what SyncTime does if will help get any info out of
	3com or other developers.  It is a single perl call:
	$dlp->setTime(time). This calls the pilot-link method
	dlp_SetSysDateTime().  The command code used in the hotsync
	protocol is 0x14, including the time value as a parameter.  If
	fact, here is the whole command sent over the serial line:

	0x14  cmd code
	0x01  1=has param, 0=no param
	0xA0  arg?
	0x00
	0x00  param length (high byte)
	0x08               (low byte)
	time param (8 bytes)
	 year (high byte)
	 year (low byte)
	 month
	 day
	 hour
	 minute
	 second
	 0x00 (packing spacer)
