Re: [PilotMgr] Question on SyncMemo

["Perley B. C. Mears Jr." <perley.mears@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Another option is to not split them. There are several memopad
replacement apps for the Palm which support larger sizes, including
SuperPad, which let you see them and edit them. 
	Or use SyncMemo to load them onto the Palm, use a clipboard hack that
increases the size of the clipboard and a DOC editor such as QED or
SmartDoc and cut and paste them to a DOC. Unfortunately, this option
makes it a tad trickier to sync them, as you would have to use the
backup conduit. Has anyone thought about adding more flexibility to the
backup conduit, so that you can easily switch between multiple
configurations. Right now I do it the hard way by manually switching the
config file. On monday I do a full backup, and everyother day I only
back up a subset of databases that change often.
