Re: Using a Palm VII with Pilotmgr

[Jonathan Young <jyoung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Yours was the only posting I saw about Palm VII's in my list archive. I
just recently added the Omnisky service (http://www.omnisky.com) to my
Palm V, which makes it look a lot like a Palm VII. I've got the same
.pqa issues you seem to have solved.

The Installer looks pretty simple, but there are a few things inside
Backup.pm that worry me:

inside fetchDB

if ($info->{"flagResource"})
    {
	$filename .= ".prc";
    }
    else
    {
	$filename .= ".pdb";
    }

Has anyone else solved this problem?
